# [Sort Pages] dialog box

This dialog box appears when you register the sort pages plug-in, change its settings, or run the plug-in while clearing the [Do not display the setup dialog box at executing the Plug-in] in the [Sort Pages Plug-in Setting] dialog box.
Use this dialog box to set how to change the order of pages by using the sort pages plug-in. The preview is displayed according to the setting.
Note
If an original file is located in a read-only folder, the processed file will not be created in that folder. It will be created in a readable folder which is open the first time after processing.

### [Sort option]

Select the method of changing the order of pages.
The default setting is [Sort the document in reverse order].

- [Sort the document in reverse order]
  Creates the document with the pages in reverse order from the selected document.
- [Stack the pages alternately from 2 documents]
  Creates a new document from the 2 selected documents by stacking pages alternately, starting from the first page of the document selected first. This method can be used only when each of the 2 selected documents has the same number of pages, or the first selected document has one more page than the second one.
- [Divide pages into even and odd pages]
  Creates 2 new documents by dividing pages of the selected document with odd numbers and even numbers into 2 groups.

Note
When you select multiple documents and run [Sort the document in reverse order] or [Divide pages into even and odd pages], each document is processed separately.
When [Stack the pages alternately from 2 documents] is set to the default setting, and if you select one document or three or more documents, [Sort the document in reverse order] is selected automatically.
