Question

The sequence of unthreaded frames on a page (document)

I have the impression that InDesign arranges unthreaded text frames in order from oldest to newest. This is evident both within the page and the document, as seen during text searches.

Is there any way to enforce a specific order of frames?

For what purpose? If it's reading order you can try the articles panel.

The specificity of infographics I am working on, causes there to be dozens text frames on the page. Even a simple search for a text fragment to be changed makes InDesign jump throughout the entire document, finding the desired fragments. It is cumbersome, and I would prefer to have some logic in this.

What you are looking for - is the most basic and core functionality of my tool:

You can filter and sort by any property of the Graphic Object - almost 800 properties - or Text - 444 properties...

 

In your case - you need to use it "directly" - so you won't be able to use it if you are not a PC user...

 

Otherwise, it could be used in WatchedFolders mode on a dedicated PC connected to the same network with Macs.

 


Sounds interesting. Where can I download it, and is there any description of installation and individual options?
