Print Forms packet in sequential order instead of alphabethical order?

I have multiple New Hire forms that I have created as eForms using Adobe 8.0 LiveCyle. It is great that they show up as individual documents in the left margin; however, when our field Facility Administrators print them out as an entire packet...the packet prints out in Alphabethical order versus the order the packet was created in. This means they have to take the time to put them in the correct order for their New Hire. Is the only method around this to create one document and put that into LiveCycle versus creating a packet? Make sense?
Thank you,

Seems to me the file should print out in the order the pages show on the left Navigation pane. Is that not the case?

Unfortunately they do not print in the order that they are put into the packet. When the user clicks print - the packet prints out in alphabetical order of each document. Very frustrating. Please help!

Thank you,

Have we figured how to print a set of forms in a packet in the order in which they appear on the screen vs alphabetically. This is a huge issue. Please help.

PDFs print in the order they are listed in the package; however, what you see on the screen, can be different from this order because of the display sorting options. If you sort by "Modified date", you can see the order that they were stored in the PDF.
