Reorder Files

About this task

If you upload multiple files of the same file designation, for example, multiple figures, by default Author Portal lists the files in alphabetical order. However, if you want the files to be displayed in a different order than the default one, you can drag and drop the files to reorder them.

The Reordering allowed label is displayed for file designations that support file reordering.

Note: For file designations with companion files, children files cannot be reordered separately from their parent files.

Files cannot be moved from one designation to another, for example, from Figures to Tables.

Procedure

  1. Click the reordering icon to the left of the file name, and then drag and drop the file.
    The order of files will be altered. In the example below, the order of figure1.png and figure2.png has been changed:
  2. When you have completed the Upload Manuscript submission step, click Confirm.

Results

Author Portal will display the files to reviewers in the order you specified.
