BookLib, problems with inventory order when adding pages later?

Long story short:
My main character has a diary. When major changes happens within the game he automatically writes in it and a page is added to it. It's working and all... only problem is that it won't show up in the inventory in the right order. (see screenshot)
It sort of bugs me.

Here, page 7 was just added... and it looks like this...

Any idea what I need to do to make it show up in the correct order?


Can you show the code?
I can't find BookLib anywhere.

When adding a page to it afterwards I do MoveObject(pagename, diary), pagename.hasnextpage=true and pagename.nextpage = pagenumber.


Ah; the page objects are all created in the editor, rather than created during play?
In that case, they should appear in the inventory in the same order they are in the editor.

If you can acquire the pages in different orders, and want them to appear in the order you gained them, then I think you can do that by cloning pages into the diary instead of moving them.


Ah, so simple!
Thanks man!!!
(I just changed the order of the objects in the editor and yes... it's working now)
