General ⇒ Ordering of figures

[mcochran]

Hello.

I am generating a report, and have several figures in my appendix. As I change the order of sections in my report, is there a way to have LaTeX re-arrange the figures so that they are in the right order in the appendix?

For example:

My report started with one figure in section one, and one in section 2. I have decided to invert the ordering, putting section 2 first. Is there a way to automatically adjust the order of the figures in the final document without physically changing them in the appendix?

Thanks.
Mike

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am still, however, a little confused. Although I am thrilled that the answer to my question merely involves conjuring up some possibly mythic entity, I am still unclear how to acquire one. Any further clarification would be most appreciated.

Perhaps you may want to try the endfloat package, which deferres the insertion of floats till the end of the document. The code for each figure would go in the appropriate section, so a change in their order will cause also the corresponding change in the order of figures.

Juanjo,

Thank you so much. This package is exactly what I needed. I was having so much trouble keeping track of the order and numbering of my figures.

Hello.

One more tiny point. Is there a way to put \endfloats into an appendix?

In other words, I have used the \endfloats package, but would like to place the tables and figures into separate appendices.

Thank you.
