Scenes in Story view are out of order and not left-to-right order
Thank you for your reply. This is incredibly annoying when I'm working with a story that had about 3 dozen story flow lines in it. I have to hunt down the correct scene instead of just assuming that it appears in any kind of logical order.
For anybody finding this post, this is how I fixed this issue:
1) duplicate your menu slide (copy/paste it in the same scene).
2) rename the duplicated slide to something like 'OLD' to keep them separate.
3) delete all the buttons/items from your actual menu slide.
4) Remove any remaining object and slide triggers for those buttons/items. Storyline did this for me when I deleted the items, but I suspect that some may remain (because storyline).
5) Cut the first menu item from the OLD slide and paste it into the actual menu slide
6) copy/paste the slide and object triggers from the OLD slide into the actual menu slide.
7) repeat steps 5 and 6 for the remaining buttons/items **IN ORDER** of your menu order and desired left-to-right story view layout.
Again, this is very annoying, but at least I found a way to make this work. I'm shocked there isn't a way to just drag and drop a scene in the story view. That seems like such a basic thing to be able to do.
thank you.
Thank you. I too was finding it very annoying that Story View displayed the scenes out of order. Now I know how to fix it! Great tip.
