Letting the Element Label preferences of Smart Connection 9 for InDesign control the component order of articles

When in Smart Connection 9 for InDesign a new article is created or when components are added to an existing article, the order in which each article component is added to the hierarchy of the article is by default controlled by the order in which the frames are positioned on the layout. (See Controlling the component order for new articles using Smart Connection 9.)

Because this may not always give the right results, the order can also be controlled by the order in which the Element Labels are set in the preferences of InDesign.

This is controlled by the following option:

• File: configserver.php file
• Name of option: UseElementLabelOrder
• Location: Server Features section
  
• Example:

new Feature( 'UseElementLabelOrder' ),
