ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for ordering or reordering objects (e.g., data, content, input objects, controls) within an electronic document. In a set order mode of operation, an operator orders objects by selecting or clicking on them in their desired order. During the set order mode, the apparatus displays a first indicator reflecting the set order mode, and a current index value—the order or position at which the next selected object will be placed. A control mode of operation is activated by engaging a predetermined key or control (e.g., CTRL key). During control mode, the apparatus displays a second indicator showing that the control mode is active, and the index of a target object (an object identified by a cursor controlled by the operator). The operator can reset the current index to the index of the target object by clicking on the target object while control mode is active.
