When exporting a collection as a PDF or Zip bundle, your computer's File Explorer orders the documents alphabetically by their filename. If you wish to maintain the custom order that the collection documents have been given on the Documents page, then this can be done when exporting using the Advanced options.
Exporting a collection using the sortable numeric prefix
- Select the 3-dot (kebab) icon
next to your chosen Collection. - Select Export from the menu.
The export dialog is displayed and is used to configure the format of the export to be generated.
- In the Overview section, ensure that the Export as field is set to Multiple files (zip).
Exporting using the Single PDF option keeps the documents in the custom order without needing to follow Step 4.
- Select the section for Zip export settings, ensure that File naming is set to Document Principal ID.
- Toggle Sortable numeric prefix to ON.
- Complete the export and download the files as described in Exporting trial exhibit bundles (collections).
Observe the exported zip file of documents to see the custom order retained due to the numeric prefix being added to the filename.
