A pet peeve of mine: When working with documents with dozens of chapters, making cross-references is always a pain, because the list of files in the cross-reference box follows no logic I can see. Some of the file are in the order in which they were opened, but not all. I'd be ahhpy if the list were alphabetized, or in some consistent order.
Does anyone understand the logic here?
Hi Jim,
Internally, FM keeps a list of open document handles and it apparently follows no particular order. Sometimes it generally follows the order in which you opened them, but no guarantee. Pretty much anywhere there is a list of files in the GUI, it will be in this unpredictable order as the app retrieves its internal list. As an FDK developer, I bump into this all the time as I retrieve the list of open documents for my dialog boxes. I like your idea of alphabetizing and I think I'll begin to implement that where applicable. As Mike suggests, though, you might have to beg Adobe for a long time to do it on their end
