Factbook Order Placement

[VoVoDoCo]

To the best of my knowledge, the most recent of your factbooks are always put near the top, while the older ones appear at the bottom.

For people who are trying to write factbooks, but realize they wrote a few in the wrong order, that can become hectic.

Is it possible to allow the factbook author the ability to switch them around in the order they appear in?

It's possible to reorder them by "updating" a factbook changing nothing but simply resetting the timestamp, but that's tedious to do if you have many factbooks that you want ordered just right and it can mislead other people into thinking there's something new to catch up on when there isn't.

And that's my problem. I have an idea for setting up my nation and my puppet's factbooks, but it's hard to get started, knowing that once I get too far, it'll become really tedious to make order edits.

I feel like I have to have every factbook pre thought out for Vovodoco and its puppets, or else I run the risk of having to go through the tedious timestamp update process, which you brought up.

Could do what I have done and create a library where you have a link to all your dispatches. That would mean you only need to find one dispatch. Not a perfect solution but it is an option. I have also linked my Library on every dispatch so that you can always get to it, no matter how many you write.

That is a good idea. But I'd need to use a lot of spoilers, and the spoilers are only about you know

big. And I like the way factbooks have those big headlines.

Doesn't have to be done with spoilers. This is a really fancy directory dispatch that doesn't use spoilers:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=734638

Edit: well, it uses one at the top.
Edit2: Easy link for the raw (which you can get to yourself from the bottom right of any factbook/dispatch). They actually made the spoiler larger, and did fancy things like anchors. So you can see how they did it all. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispa ... 4638/raw=1

Now THAT was exceptionally helpful. Thank you very much.
