I’ve created a specific Assignment order in my InDesign file. I’ve opened it with InCopy. My Assignments are listed in the same order in the Assignments palette but the stories are in a different order in both Galley and Story View. Ive checked out the assignments, but am unable to reorder the stories to match the Assignment palette.
I’m using Anne-Marie Concepcion’s excellent tutorial on using Track Changes to produce a document showing revisions. But in order for it to be effective, we need them to be in the correct order.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Why?
I assume, that is impossible! If you create a assignment, the order is not from top to bottom or left to right. The order is the order in which the textframes are created (cause every textframe has a gets a ID during the creatin). It seems that we can sort the storys in the assignments panel, but this will not affect the order in the story or galley view. However: If you change the order in the galley view, this will have also effect on the story view.
Normally you use the layout view, check the story out and change the view. If this is really important to you, we must check, if we can manipulate the order by scripting.
