I'm trying to export 26 pages. All of them export no problem, however they appear in the pdf in order of first number only numerically ascending, aka; 1,11,12....2,20,21....3,4,5. How do I switch this so they will export in order 1-26, or is it something I need to do to the pdf to reorder it.

Thanks

If your page numbering and ordering field is of type String (which I assume it is) it will sort like it does.  You could add another field of type Integer, calculate the new field using the current numbering field as value and use the integer field rather as ordering field for your DDP.
