Is there a way to place documents in a specified order in a directory? Note: Documents do not need to be placed in alphabetical order. I am writing a book and want the documents in the directory to be organized by chapter.
Is this possible? Thanks.

So, each chapter is its own separate file?
Ok, then just name each file after its chapter name, i.e. "Chapter 01.doc", "Chapter 02.doc", "Chapter 03.doc", etc.
That should do it.
You see, the list will default sort by alphabetical listing, so doing it like I suggesteda above will keep the chapters in line.
And yes, you need to stick with the 2-digits for the chapter numbers as file names. "Chapter 1.doc" won't work, but "Chapter 01.doc" will.
hope this helps

If they were written in order, simply sort the documents by "Modified Date" in Ascending order. This will put the oldest document at the top and the newest document at the bottom.
In the Explorer window, just click once or twice on the column title "Modified"
