I have Paragraph Styles:
Header 1
Subheader 2
Subheader 3
Subheader 4
There are some sections that do not have a Subheader 2 (more than 2-tier hierarchy).
I generated a table of contents, but they are not listing in the correct order, as in Header 1 is showing up below Subheader(s). Headers are in a different text frame on each page, but didn't think that mattered, as the rest of the document is essentially in the right order; it's just the Headers showing up at the end of the sequence in the TOC rather than at the beginning. E.g.:
Header 1A
Header 1B
Subheader 1C
Subheader 1C
Subheader 1C
Header 1C
Header 1D
Subheader 1D
Subheader 1D
Subheader 1D
Header 1E
Subheader 2E
Subheader 2E
Subheader 2F
Subheader 2F
Header 1F
etc...
I have rearranged the TOC levels, even removed and recreated the TOC with no luck.
Any ideas?
if your issue as in my screenshot then the frames (non connected) of HEADER 1 are placed more to the right on the page than the other levels.
You should threading your frames together into a logical reading order or extended the text frame of the HEADER 1 to the left edge of the page.

You found it!
But this is frustrating to fix all the headers of a 220-page document!
I can't believe they would rely on the left-right placement as a criteria to make the TOC work.

Do you have Text Columns in your document?

I want them in this order: Header 1, Section Number, Header 2 (attached screenshots).
I had to fix the TOC manually for each section because it was showing after Header 2.

Can you make the BLUE TextFrame to start between MAGENTA and GREEN?
Tall, narrow, text vertical align = bottom.
That way their order will be as you need - the only thing you'll have to do would be to combine paragraphs in the TOC?
And next time include screenshots in you 1st message 😉
