Folder/Gallery/Page block and selecting multiple classes of items

ChancyRat

Maybe this is obvious but I just caught on to this. I found I could do this:
- Wanted to have 3 folders and 4 galleries located in one new folder block.
- First selected the 3 folders
- Then double clicked the folder (I saw it "unselect" as I did this) containing the 4 galleries, and selected the 4 galleries.
- Backed out of that folder back where I was.
- Since the Folder containing the galleries was unselected, I selected it again.

Result: all 7 are in my block.
I had no idea one could do this.

The only oddity is that the folder containing the galleries I needed, is now last in the group.
So I have Folder 1, Folder 2, Gallery 1, 2, 3, 4, and then Folder 3.

Is there any way i could have done this differently so that Folder 3 followed Folder 2?

Wow. I didn't know you could do that either. Thanks, Chancy!

There is a way to re-order. After you have selected everything, but before you hit "Done", click the "Selected" box in the upper right corner of the selection page. A vertical list of the items you chose will show up in a line down the right side of the screen. All will show as selected. Deselect each and then re-select in the order you want them displayed. (Ongoing grump: I wish that Selected box would still be there if I came back to edit the selections after hitting "Done", as is the case for, say, the Galleries widget, but that hasn't been hooked up.)
