The sad news about Bb package file order

Got lotza files to upload to Blackboard and want them available in a single item (with multiple links)?

Well, you can, but you can't control the order ... easily.



When you make a zip file of the documents, they will be in alphabetical order.

When you upackage the zip file in a Blackboard sites files, they will also display in alphabetical order.

When you bulk add them into an item using "Browse Course" they will go in a weird order.

The only way to put them into an alphabetical order is to add them ONE-AT-A-TIME! Thus defeating the whole reason you ziped them together in the first place!
