Letting the Element Label preferences of Studio for InDesign control the component order of articles

Info: Performing the step described in this article requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.

When in Studio 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 articles using Studio for InDesign.)

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 (recommended: config_overrule.php file)
• Name of option: UseElementLabelOrder
• Location: Server Features section
• Example:

new Feature( 'UseElementLabelOrder' ),
