hi folks. I'm still in the process of debugging this (so details and a minimal example aren't ready yet), but I'm wondering if anyone knows of circumstances that would cause table and figure numbers to be out-of- order and swapped. For example, the numbers from my \placelistoftables run in this order: 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 8.6 8.7 8.5 8.9 8.10 8.11 8.12 8.10 *** **** While \placelistoffigures gives 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.5 8.8 8.6 8.7 8.8 8.9 8.13 *** **** This is disturbing and hard to debug. The person whose thesis this is didn't make it easy, with very long and minimally different identifiers. I've tried purging the directory, including making sure the .tuo file is completely rebuilt. I've tried changing reference names, and it *has* had an effect on the order, but it hasn't fixed it yet. I'm trying to avoid panic, but the doctoral thesis where we're running into this needs to be bound on thursday. :) thanks for any hints, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

you mean that there are duplicates?

hm, sounds new to me, this random ordering

Duplicates, missings, and strange crossovers.

It's not something I imagined you would allow to exist for very long.

Very nearly: Mar 4 10:44 context.tex But apparently I was in a little panic. I was misled by the reference naming my partner used. What really caused it was the poorly understood use of \placefigure[always] (from a mysterious hint you sent to the list). My partner really doesn't like TeX's tendency to put floats pages away from where they're named, so she wanted the strongest force option available. We replaced them with [here,force], and everything was made right again. Sorry. I guess I did panic a little. But I clearly need to learn more about the different placement mechanisms sometime. Tomorrow, the exciting world of \makeups... thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
