In Biblioscape, items in several of the modules can be organized in a treeview. For example, folders, notes, tasks, charts, and categories all include a treeview.
Ordering treeview items
Hold down the Ctrl key first, then drag and drop selected item to another item. The selected item will be moved just below the other item. This allows you can manually sort items manually at the same level in a desired order. Manual sorting is very important in some cases. For example, when you write a book using the notes module, you will almost certainly want to sort chapters in a particular order using manual sorting.
Sort items by a column
Instead of manually sorting items, you can click a column header to sort all items by that column. For example, you can click the Priority column in the notes module to sort all notes by priority. Click the header column again to sort in reverse order. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the column header to remove sorting.
Move an item left
Drag and drop selected items to another item; the selected items will become children items of the other item. But this will not work if you want to move an item to the root level because there is no parent item of root items. To do that, select an item first, click the right mouse button and select "Move item left".

Organizing Tree View
In 7.30 I am struggling to organise the items in the tree view.
1. Holding Ctrl creates a copy of an item as a child of the item dragged upon rather than moving the item below the target as described above.
2. "Move item up" option is missing. Is it now colled "Move Folder Left"?
3. One of my folders does not remember its location and is repositioned alphabetically after every restart of Biblioscape. The rest seem OK.
1. Please hold down the Ctrl
1. Please hold down the Ctrl key first and then do the selection. 2. It is the same command. "Moving item up" is confusing. 3. Is the sorting turned on? If so, please hold down the Ctrl key and press the sorted column header.With sorting turned on, you cannot reorder any item.

1. I see. Thanks. 2. OK, perhaps the book page needs editing then. 3. No, the sorting was off... It was just one of the items that was loosing its place.
Where is tree view in folders and references?
Paul,
I see where the tree view is in notes, tasks and categories. It is clearly labeled.
I do not see where it is in references and folders. I must be missing something very obvious here. Where are tree veiws in folders and references modules.

For folders, the only view
For folders, the only view is a tree view. For references, there is no treeview supported. For most users, there is no need to organize references in a parent child relationship.
