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.

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.

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

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