I created a TOC but it's not in order of page sequence. It should be Breakfast, Lunch then Dinner. But showing Dinner, Breakfast, Lunch.

I only have 2 paragraph styles for the 2 levels used in the TOC. I have attached screen shots of how the TOC is set up.

I am using multiple text boxes that are not threaded. When I try to thread them, the text changes along with text styles - so didnt thread them. All text boxes are lined up exactly the same on each page - I verified the X and Y coordinates on each page - and they match exactly. The text frames have no indents or special formatting applied.

Why is this happening?

I don't see your dropbox link anywhere in this thread. Did you send it to Vladan directly?

And did you disable Sort Entries in Alphabetical Order and update your TOC, as per my last post?

Wait. In your last screen shot, you have the Sort Entries in Alphabetical Order enabled. Disable it, update the TOC. Was that the issue?
