As an example, we will give you two scenarios where you need to change the order of a job

Scenario 1

Suppose the following four Word files are initially handed off by the client.
Each file name is taken from a heading.

Company Overview.docx
Executive Summary.docx
Liquidity and Capital Resources.docx
Summary Historical Financial and Operational Data.docx

Since the client requires the translation to be done ASAP, the project manager loads the four files into the Memsource Cloud and handoffs them to a single provider as soon as possible.

The Job numbers will be in the order of the file names, so they will look like this
Job#1 = Company Overview.docx
Job#2 = Executive Summary.docx
Job#3 = Liquidity and Capital Resources.docx
Job#4 = Summary Historical Financial and Operational Data.docx

Immediately after starting the work, a pdf of the source will be distributed by the client.
If you check, you will see that the order of the source languages is as follows
Job#2 = Executive Summary.docx
Job#1 = Company Overview.docx
Job#3 = Liquidity and Capital Resources.docx
Job#4 = Summary Historical Financial and Operational Data.docx

When the client hands off the files, the project manager can check the contents of the files and upload them one by one in order, or rename the files (01, 02, etc.) before the file name so that they are in order. However, in the case of a project with a deadline approaching, there is little time for the project manager to check the file names and their contents, so the file is uploaded to the project with the handoff file names.

However, from the worker's point of view, since the work on Job#1 has just started, it would be good to be able to work on the files in the source order, so we want to switch the order and open all the files.

Scenario 2

The client has approached you to handoff the following 4 files.
A.docx
B.docx
C.docx
D.docx

Let's say that A, C, and D were distributed first, and B will be handed off later.
We need to start working on them, so we create a project and the job numbers are as follows
A=Job#1
C=Job#2
D=Job#3

If you know that B will be handed off soon, you can just wait for it to be handed off without creating a project, but since you are in a hurry to deliver, the project manager will create a project.

We start the work, and as we are translating the A file, the B file is handed off by the client. Since the translation work has already started, it is not possible to recreate a new project now, so the project manager loads B into the same project. In that case, the jobs in the project will be as follows
A=Job#1
C=Job#2
D=Job#3
B=Job#4

However, since C and D have not started working yet, if we can load them in Memsource in the order of Job#1, Job#4, Job#2, Job#3, we can open them in the same order as the source files, A, B, C, D, and proceed in order from the top.

It is also possible to open each file separately and work on them in the same order, but then the repetition between files will not work, and you will not be able to search and filter at once. It is therefore important to open all four files at the same time when working.
