Would it be possible to make it so that the pages appear in the editor in the order that it is possible for the player to reach them, instead of the order they are made?

That must sound a bit confusing. Allow me to clarify.

I create a Page. Page 1. Then I add a link. One to Page 2 and then 3.

Still don't get it? Hold on.

Say I've made 500 pages. Let's imagine I'm JJJ. You make 500 pages and they are displayed in the order you make them. But instead, say we put a link from Page 1 to Page 500. This would move Page 500 to just after the other Page 1 links (depending on the order you made them when there is more than 1 link per page.

This may sound confusing still. Maybe another user would like to translate this into easier words?

So basically, if you link Page A to Page C, it'll go before Page B if they were in the original order of ABC or is it like this:

You create Page A.  Than you link to page B.  Finally, you link to page C, and the final order it shows is ACB?

No, say you link from A to B, then C then E, even though u make D before E. It shows whatever can be accesed with the smallest number of page clicks. Thanks for clarifying Havvy.

Maybe I still don't get it-

what if you make page A which links to pages B and C- page B links to D and E and page C only links to E?  Would it come up ABCED?  Or ACEBD? 

I doubt it, I suggested something simliar before and it got rejected.

Its to complicated to program

He is right.  It's hard to program that with items and now scripting in the mix.  Think of the confusion you would have!

I do find this confusing, but I would like to be able to move our own pages, for example, I made a page one, and then decided to add some more background on a page before one, and the only way to do this is to re write page one, it would be good to be able to insert a new page one, and it automatically changed the old page one to 2, 3 to 4 etc.

yea, I havent spread my wings as far as advanced. to be honest I just havent had time to even think about it.

This is not possible to do.

Simplest example: if A --> B and A --> C, Then what should the order of pages be? ABC or ACB? Both are valid under this rule and the results to the user would therefore be unpredicatble and useless.
