ABSTRACT:
A method and interface for managing indices of ordered elements are provided. A subset of elements are selected from an index of ordered elements and displayed on a user interface device. A user can manipulate the display of different subsets of the ordered elements via a user input device. Additional indicia corresponding to the subset of index elements are also displayed on the interface. The additional indicia can include a reference to a visual indicator of index display depth and/or a reference to the location of the displayed elements within the index.
