Design&Print: Image order unexpected

[ubacher]

I have a dynamic template which puts two successive images on one page side by side (concatenates images)
I assumed the images are placed left to right in the order in which they are submitted.
Turns out the first image is placed right, the second left. Is this a bug or intended or am I missing a setting?

It tried sorting order default and custom - makes no difference.

Check the order of your containers in the page properties.
You have full control over the sequence in which the containers on your page are filled.

File container 1 for the left image, 2 for the right image. Yet it places them in reverse.
I did attach the template.

Your Z-Order is set to fill first the right container, then the left.
Change the Z-Order with Ctrl+I and then click on the left and then on the right container.
This does the trick.

Thanks -this was it. I have never used the Z-Order so was unaware of it.

The Z-Order is by default set by the order in which you add the containers. It is important because it controls the sequence in which images are consumed, how text containers are linked to their data-feeding image containers, the order in which containers are rendered (overlapping containers) etc. Well worth knowing about.

You have first created the container on the right, then the container on the left. Which is why the Z-order was 1 for the right and 2 for the left container.
