Unless a Batch Job is being used, the order in which documents are printed or converted to PDF is determined by a Task’s Sort By configuration option.Documents contained in a Batch Job are sorted using the Sort By configuration option specified for the Batch Job.When a Task is started, the Service continuously monitors its Watched Folder. When it detects supported documents or a Job File containing supported documents, it batches the documents, sorts them then outputs them. This means only documents simultaneously placed in a Watched Folder are sorted in their own batch, and subsequent documents are sorted in their own batches.A Task has its sort order configured for File Name (A-Z). It is also started and does not have a Trigger. The following documents are simultaneously placed in the associated Watched Folder:As you can see, the two “batches” of documents are treated individually and are not sorted together. To overcome this, a Trigger can be used. Alternatively, the Task can be stopped then started again when all documents have accumulated in the Watched Folder.
