Files are combined in wrong order

I'm using Adobe Acrobat DC. When I combine files using the Combine Files feature, choose to Add the Open Files to combine. They are combined in the wrong order, opposite order of the tabbed files. Can this be fixed so that when you have Tabs open, the combined files are in the same order of the Open Tabbed Files.

I'm using Acrobat DC, Windows 10.

Thank you, Trish Vrooman

This happens to be as well! So frustrating. I have to go through and reorder the entire document and hope I haven't messed it up!

What is the solution?

See my same case just above. Use the desktop app and not the web based service.

I have the same problem, using the Cloud/Web interface. I replied the action now in the desktop app and it works properly, sorting the pages on the combined filenames. Windows 10, Acrobat DC Pro 32 bit, version 2022.002.20212.

Once files are added, you can select one or more and rearrange to the proper order before you select the "Combine" button

Yes, that’s the workaround. Odd it adds the last opened Tab as the first file, etc. Should be in the same order as the Opened Tabbed Files. Can Adobe fix that?

Are files named with a prefix that would place into combine window in order? (example 1. Intro, 2. TOC, 3. Content)
