Chronological order lost when combine PDF

[frankh85129213]

I have an email string that I have converted to a long list of pdf files. They are presented in chronological order. For my purposes, this is important to maintain. When I combine all of these separate files into one pdf, I lose that chronological order. Is there a way to combine these files into one file, for convenient reviewing and editing and still keep the original order?

How are you combining the files?

[frankh85129213]

I am going to "file" tab, then "create" tab, then "combine files into a single pdf" tab

OK... The order in which you add the files to that window is the order in which they will be combined.

You would think that....but NO--this does not occur.  BTW--it is 2022 and this problem still exists!
