Out-of-Order Autoflow: How to fix?

Hello fellow ID users,
I have a 210-page document that I created in InDesign CS5.This document is arranged so that single pages are listed in sequence, with right and left alternating master pages (A,B,A,B, etc.).
As I was reviewing this document, I realized that the text would make more sense if I moved some pages around. So I opened up the page window and moved the pages around.
Unfortunately, after I moved these pages InDesign did not change the sequence of threaded frames to match the new sequence of the pages. And so now page 190 flows to 193; 191 flows to 192; but then 192 flows to 194; and 193 flows to 195. My text threads now resemble a spider web!
Is there some way that I can get InDesign to redo the autoflow so that the text threads are again in sequence with my new page layout?

Harbs wrote: "Simplest solution: Delete the pages and reflow."
Ugh. Yeah I know that would fix the problem. But I have numerous pages after this sequence and this means that I would basically need to redo this chapter from page 190 on. Isn't there an easier fix?
Peter asked: "Is there some reason you didn't choose to arrang this as a facing pages file with a two-page master spread?"
Yeah, this document will be printed in single pages on a copier. Since the end-user/reader will not read it as facing pages, I didn't want to look at it that way on my screen.
Peter suggested: "If you reflow the text to get rid of the spaghetti threading, you'll wind up where you were before shuffling the pages, so doesn't that defet the purpose? "
No, I won't wind up where I was before. I simply want my new page 190 to flow to 191, and 191 to flow to 192, etc. I guess what I was trying to communicate in my original post was that logically, the text in my document would make more sense to the reader if I reordered it, and so that's how I got into this pickle in the first place.
Peter also suggested: "If you want to change the order of paragraphs inthe text flow, you need to edit the text and move the paragraphs."
Um, well it's too late for that. I'm wondering how to fix this?
It seems to me that either I should be able to:
a) Somehow manually click on the text thread and place it where I want it to go (like on the following page) or:
b) Turn off all autoflow and then somehow "restart" it so that ID will automatically have it snake from each page to the next in the correct sequence.
Isn't there any way to do either of these? Or is there another solution that I'm missing here?

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

When I burn a disk from my playlist the songs are out of order. How can I fix this? Thanks!

I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck.

I have prepared a personal budget and sorted the planned expenses by month, but the months are out of order. How do I correct?

David,
You've got to give us something to go on here. At least post a screen shot so we can see how your data is arranged. I suspect that you may have named the months with text strings rather than as actual Date values, so when you sort they are in alphabetical order rather than date order.

Booklet converted to .pdf is fine for printing/folding, but for putting pdf file online website - pages in wrong order. How to fix?

I created a booklet in Publisher and then saved as .pdf file to post on a website. When printed, pages are ok for folding and printing in the right order, but the .pdf file to look at shows pages out of order. is there a way to fix this?

Not with Reader.
You would probably need to rebuild the original document and recreate the pdf.

In ios7, custom labels for phone contacts are all out of order. How can I get them back in alphabetical order?

See above question.

I had tried that several times with no luck. Late last night I was finally able to get through to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support. It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix. So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position. Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles. My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars. Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information. Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

Photos out of order. How to change the 'Date Taken' date on ipod touch?

Since updating to ios8, some of my camera photos have randomly changed their dates to 2015. Does anyone know how I can change the date on these back so that they appear in the right sequence?

Yes. You can batch change those photos with the Photos->Batch Change->Date menu option. You an add a time differential between every photo so they will be chronologically sorted in the order you put them before changing the date.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Printing config sm to be set to print in reverse order. How to fix?

OSX 10.6.3 and MS Word 12.23. When I go to print-to-disk a Word document (i.e. turn it into a PDF using Preview as the default display tool) I get a PDF whose pages are in reverse order. Fine for hard copy output, useless for PDF. Every Print pref or config setting I look for offers no help and, of course, as is completely normal, the Help menu offers nothing either.
I have found an easy fix for a small document — do a "preview" of the document in the Print dialog then drag the pages manually to where they should be. But not every document I work with is small.
Suggestions please.

Oh John, thanks for trying to help. However, I'm not trying to print to any printer. I'm trying to "print-to-disk" i.e. save as a PDF to the desktop so I can later send it as an email attachment.
And by the way, I forgot to mention for you and other kind folk in here — the Word print dialog box does contain a setting Copies & Pages/Page Handling/Page Order with the options "automatic, normal, reverse" but it makes no difference what I select, I still end up with "reverse".
Grrr

Bug: iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 podcast smart playlist sort order and how to fix.

There seems to be a bug in iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 involving the sort order of a smart playlist of podcasts. I created such a playlist and sorted by release date on iTunes but I noticed it had a different sort order on the iPod Touch.
After playing around with it a bit I found that the only way to preserve the sort order that I have in iTunes on the iPod Touch is to uncheck "Live Updating" in the smart playlist.

Confirming this incredibly annoying bug. Basic list sorting not working... real bottom shelf work apple.
workaround update: limit to must be turned on, set it to an absurdly high number if you don't want to actually limit the playlist, then one of the sortby options in that submenu will work. The live update checkbox is irrelevant from experimentation.
This workaround does NOT fix the fundamental problem: sort order from itunes in smart playlists is not being synced and preserved in ios5 devices.
This is the latest in a long string of debacles which is making me seriously consider swapping to debian stable. (snow leopard to lion was a severe downgrade in performance for anyone doing heavy multitasking.. scheduling is FUBAR... when a command option escape beachballs on a brand new core 17 machine, your OS has serious problems with nice levels)

CF9 Scheduled Tasks Sort order changed; how to fix it?

I just notice in my CF9 administrator under "Scheduled Tasks", the tasks now display Alphabetically IN GROUPS BY FREQUENCY rather than the straight alpha by Task Name. Is this a new "feature" of CF9 and how can I change it back to "normal" sort by Task Name? We have lots of scheduled tasks and it's really more convenient to see them the old way. I haven't found any obvious place where I can change the sort order. Any help is appreciated.

You could experiment with changing /CFIDE/administrator/scheduler/scheduletasks.cfm to be the one CF8 uses instead. I dunno if it would work, but it should.
Or you could write your own CFAdmin extension to display them however you like.
I don't know there's an "official" way to revert to the old view.
I'm not sure why they bothered changing this. I think they could have better spent said time on something else... like providing a proper API for managing the tasks, without needing to rely on using the service factory.
