I've figured out how to set the order of the PDFs in sliding row view using the Index property, but Acrobat wants to initially select a file far on the right side of the view because the file begins with A. I want to have the initial selection as a different file. I don't want to automatically open the file, just have it selected and centered in the sliding row view. Is there a way to do this?
 
Also, I tried using UVSAR's script on the linked page, but it doesn't quite do what I want, and now I can't get it turned off. Does anyone know how to stop the portfolio opening a file automatically?

If you've run this.collection.initialView = "Hidden" and want to go back to the normal navigator view, run

this.collection.initialView = "Custom"

in your JS console.

Setting a value for initialDoc and keeping the initialView set to "Custom" will indeed scroll your navigator to that point in the sequence. You can even use it to open subfolders within the navigator.

Thank you thank you! That worked perfectly! :)

I fiddled around and tried this.collection.initialView = "Visible" but obviously that wasn't the right code.
