Tips: Study Item Order in a List

You can control the order that study items appear in a study list by prepending numbers to the study item reference. Why would you want to do this? Perhaps you have a scripture chain that you would rather have displayed in the chain's sequence rather than the standard alphabetical order. So instead of having the list sorted normally by name like: "Alma 1:1", "D&C 1:1", "Mark 1:1", "Moroni 1:1", "Romans 1:1" (obviously not a real scripture chain!), by adding numbers to the reference you could make it sort as: "1. Mark 1:1", "2. D&C 1:1", "3. Moroni 1:1", "4. Romans 1:1", "5. Alma 1:1".

Some other instances where sort order is important could be: learning study items in a specific sequence with Quote It's "Retrieve in Sorted Order" feature (such as a talk broken down into smaller parts), printing items in a specific order (perhaps for a lesson presentation), or just viewing the items in desired order (like the top 100 scriptures study list being ordered by frequency of use).
