Lock slide order?

I am wondering if it is possible to lock the slide order in Storyline. I feel like there used to be a feature to do this, but I can't seem to remember how to access it, perhaps it's gone, or maybe I'm imagining things.

Anyway, it seems REALLY EASY to accidentally move slides out of order in story view or in the mini-story view on the slide editing panel. Being able to lock the order once the skeleton is built seems like a pretty basic feature. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Slides can be moved in order if your mouse twitches and moves even a slight bit while you are selecting a slide in story view.

    The solution is not to use "next" and "previous" in jump triggers, but jump to a slide name.  They cannot override the triggers and get out of order.

    Coming here this year to echo the need for a lock slide order feature.

    Yeah, I can use jump to slide name, but it can still move out of order, with the smallest mouse bump.  I've now lost over an hour of time re-ordering slides that I meticulously placed in a specific order. A lock slide order feature would be SO HELPFUL.
