Working within a Adobe Binder, is there a way to reorder the files within the Binder?

I am creating a portfolio of a large project and I'm adding PDF files as I collect them into a Adobe Binder.  Once I collect them all I'd like to go back and re-order them so that they make sense.  There is a "organize" function in a normal PDF document.  However, I cannot find a "organize" function for the Binder.  Is there something like that and where can I find it?

Thanks,

Dan

You can set the order before you create the Portfolio by dragging them into place (this works in list and thumbnail view):

After you've created the portfolio, when viewing the portfolio you can change the order by:

  • Right-clicking in the Names list on the left, and choosing Sort by order
  • or Choose View > Portfolio > Details, the click on one of the headers.  You can edit the values of the Description and Name (Right-click : Edit Value > Name or Description.

Also you can add your own order if you want:

  1. Right-click on files list and choose Portfolio Properties
  2. Click Add
  3. Name the field.
  4. Click OK
  5. Now in Details view (View > Portfolio > Details), you can edit the values for your added field. Right-click and choose Edit Value > myOrder (as per example above).
  6. Enter a value and click OK, you can now sort in ascending or descending order by clicking on the header for the new field, or if you are in layout view (View > Portfolio > Layout), right click in names list and choose Sort by.

Ideal would be that the computer NOT help...me but let me slide parts/chapters into the order desired. 

Does that simple function exist anywhere?

Otherwise, to not spend another 6 hours on PDF to Word and so on, I'll just arbitrarily number each of the 20 chapters.

Doesn't look classy, though.
