Renumbering "Scene" numbers in "Story view"
As this post is 4 years old and has had a comment as recent as the last two weeks, and is something I came here looking for an update on as of today. I wanted to inquire if the ability to change the number of the scenes is on the list of items to be implemented by the Articulate Storyline team?
Unless I'm incredibly oversimplifying something, this doesn't seem like an unfathomable request and is something clearly of interest to those of us who have to print or those of us tired of explaining to clients/supervisors why the numbers don't match up when sharing work with them.
Thank you!

I'll back up what you said there. I have just run into this problem. After reordering scenes, my first scene is still referred to number 2.

Thanks to everyone for the tips. I am with Scott - I think most of us understand how to rearrange the scenes in story view.
However, the fact that the actual scene numbers can seemingly not be changed makes things really difficult if you work with a player with a menu view. There, the scenes are listed based on scene number and are often out of order (based on which scene you created first/last respectively on their numbers, not based on triggers or the order of the actual content).
Often content is changed/added/put in an different order after the first review through customers. That screws up the whole menu in player (it suddenly goes from what is supposed to be 1,2,3 to e.g. 1,3,2) and means I have to spend a lot of time cutting and pasting slides into the correct scenes and redoing triggers to get the order I need for the menu. Or am I missing something? Is there an easier workaround by now (initial post is almost 5 years old)?
