The is no inherent order to backgrounds in a stack, just the cards. You need to make the card you want to appear first be the first card of the stack. To do this, cut the card and go to the first card of the stack and do paste card; this will make it the second card. Now cut the first card and paste it wherever it goes. If your need to reorder the stack is more complicated than this, you may want to add a background field for sequence number; after entering the correct sequence numbers, sort the cards on this field. Hope this helps. Jim Lyons lyons@gw.scri.fsu.edu

Backgrounds don't really have orders. Cards do. If you move the card of the first background that you want to appear so that it is the first card, that begins the solution to your problem, but the other cards that shared that background would not have been moved. Of course you can't make a card into the first card in one step. Cut the card, go first, paste card. It is now the second card. Go first, cut card, put that one where you want it. You now have the desired first card. (A paste card always places a card after the card you're looking at; a paste while looking at the last card creates a new last card.) To move several cards from the same background, I think this will work: Create a new background field on all backgrounds with the same field name. For contents place a, b, c .. according to the order you would like the cards to be in. Then use the command "sort by field "sort" ". -- Dan Dlugose Internet: dlugose@uncecs.edu UNC Educational Computing Service Box 12035, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2035
