How to renumber images

Hi! I'm new to InDesign but I think I'm getting the hang of it. However I have one problem. I did a special Paragraph style for numbering my images. Works really well --- until I tried to insert a new image in the beginning of my book. I discovered that Indesign number the Images from the order they are inserted, not the location. Is there a way to renumber my images by location in the book?

Can you provide screen captures of your paragraph style  numbering settings? Did you create a unique numbering style for the figures?

I can't duplicate your problem, however, here are a few things that can alter the numbering:

  • Mixing standalone captions (in own frames) with in-story captions (with anchored/inline graphics). 
  • Not continuing numbers across multiple stories.
