ADOBE and Redactions

I have a question with ADOBE and inserting files.

We often combine a bunch of bates numbered documents which have been partitioned into separate documents back into one big file.  We do this for document control and to break up the redaction process into manageable parts.

I notice that when I choose to insert more than two files at a time that they are inserted randomly.

If I pick two at a time I can control the order of the files which are inserted into the other document.  When I pick more than two, it seems to be random.

Is there a way that I can pick multiple files to insert into a pdf document and at the same time control the order in which they are inserted?

Grumpy Humbug:
I've noticed the same thing.  The only way to combine multiple files is to use the "Combine" feature in Acrobat Pro, which has more features than the standard Acrobat program. 

As far as I know, the standard Acrobat program can only handle inserting one file at a time.  If you don't have Pro, it might be worth asking if the firm has/can get a copy.

I'd be glad to hear if anyone has a way around that in the standard Acrobat program, though.  My new firm has some kind of objection to letting us use Pro.

Norm-UH-Ray:
We have pro, and we can select as many files as the computer can handle.  However, suffering from OCD (which is celebrated at my firm) I want to place files in ORDER.

I can select two files and they will go into the new document orderly (1, 2) but as soon as I pick 3 it goes in any ol way it wants to.

LostParalegal:
We use pro as well at my firm.

When I go to combine pdfs, I get a window that opens up with the list of files that I'm combining, and I can move them around there.

Do you not get that window?

Outside of my area of expertise :(
