Leaf Ordering 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
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
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:
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
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
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.
