Where You Can Reorder

You can reorder leafs from:

— A standalone assembly folder

— An assembly template folder

— An initial working assembly folder

— A folder on the sequence view page of a lifecycled assembly

— A folder in the unlocked submitted view

Leaf Ordering Rules

In-order to reorder Leafs, you must follow specific rules.

— Reordering is case-insensitive.

— Values starting with numerals are placed before values starting with letters.

— If two leafs have the same value for the field on which the leafs are reordered, the leaf created earlier is placed first.

— Reordering leafs in folders and subfolders keeps each leaf in the same folder or subfolder.

— Reordering leafs in a folder containing subfolders places leafs that are on the same level as subfolders after those subfolders. This happens whether or not you reorder leafs in the subfolders.

Example: Reordering leafs in folders and subfolders Orginal order:

New order:

Folder 1

Folder 2

Leaf 3

Leaf 1

Leaf 2

Leaf b

Leaf d

Leaf c

Leaf a

Folder 1

Folder 2

Leaf 1

Leaf 2

Leaf 3

Leaf a

Leaf b

Leaf c

Leaf d

Example: Reordering leafs in folders but not in subfolders Orginal order:

New order:

Folder 1

Leaf d

Folder 2

Folder 1

Leaf c

Leaf a

Leaf b

Folder 1

Folder 2

Folder 1

Leaf a

Leaf b

Leaf c

Leaf d

— Reordering keeps each publishing element, such as a volume and or TOC, with the same leaf.

— Reordering does not change the positions of non-leaf nodes that are in the folder containing the leafs. Reordering places the leafs after non-leaf nodes.

Example:

Orginal order:

New order:

Folder 1

Doc 4

Leaf c

Placeholder i

Doc 1

Folder 1.1

Leaf a

Folder 1

Doc 4

Placeholder i

Doc 1

Folder 1.1

Leaf a

Leaf c

— If Include Lifecycle Items is set to Yes, reordering leafs in a folder containing lifecycled leafs reorders all leafs in the folder.

Example: Sequence 0001 tree Orginal order:

New order:

Folder 1

Leaf 4 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 2 (0001, REPLACE)

Leaf 1 (0001, NEW)

Leaf 5 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 3 (0001, APPEND)

Folder 1

Leaf 1 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 2 (0001, REPLACE)

Leaf 4 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 5 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 3 (0001, APPEND)

Example: Sequence 0001 tree Orginal order:

New order:

Folder 1

Leaf 4 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 2 (0001, REPLACE)

Leaf 1 (0001, NEW)

Leaf 5 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 3 (0001, APPEND)

Folder 1

Leaf 4 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 5 (0000, NEW)

Leaf 3 (0001, APPEND)

Leaf 1 (0001, NEW)

Leaf 2 (0001, REPLACE)

— Reordering a folder containing leafs and documents directly under the folder places the reordered leafs before the reordered documents.
