How to make the front and back text boxes appear in order of position when extracting a directory?
Now they are often misaligned.
My solution is to connect them together, but sometimes there are many, which can be very troublesome.
Is there a better solution
Also, why is the number 4 white here, and how does my Content automatically clear priority character styles?

TOC: Table Of Contents. You create this through the Layout menu. But when I look at your screenshot with all those separate small text frames, reading your question and not knowing what a TOC is, I really doubt you have enough knowledge of InDesign (no offense)... May I suggest following some (online) lessons or reading a good instruction book first...?

Originally, TOC is content, or directory
Cultural differences.
Do you have any answers to my question?

What I'm talking about is the order of the extracted directories in two scattered text boxes. How can they match the order of the article?

Your terminology makes no sense: what are 'extracted directories'?

If you still mean a TOC that you generate from the Layout menu: that you have to put in a pre-drawn text frame or drag it out as new Text Frame.

But honestly, follow some lessons, online training etc. on how to use the basics of InDesign because you are missing fundamental knowledge and terminology of the basics...
