Hello!
I'm working with a catalogue with a large number of photos (links) in InDesign, that have been placed from many different folders/sources. I want to use the order in which they appear in the catalogue for other applications so I'm wondering if it's possible to package the InDesign file in a way that the order of appearance of the links in the document is somehow preserved?
Thank you!

What do you mean by "other applications"? "Different use" or "programs"?
It's possible - but it depends on HOW would you like to use those links.
We need more info.
If you need a ZIP with all those links - they would need to be "renamed".
Depends on how detailed this info would have to be - prefixes would have to be added.
Something like:
PageIdx_OriginalName.psd
PageIdx_PosX_OriginalName.psd - or PageIdx_PosY_OriginalName.psd
Page_IdxPosY_PosX_OriginalName.psd - or PageIdx_PosX_PosY_OriginalName.psd
Order of PosX / PosY depends on if you want your links to be organised in rows or in columns.
If you need only copies - original names should remain intact - also not a problem.
