Hello,
i am working on a document and tables of contents was generated by word. It
puts list of figures before list of tables, while I need to get list of
tables before list of figures.
How do i do it

thanks

The lists will be in the order in which you insert them. And always leave at
least one empty paragraph between the TOC fields so that one doesn't get
inside another.

And for a list already inserted, you can cut and paste it at the desired
location.

I've always found it rather ironic that one of the otherwise more
discouraged techniques [empty ¶s] is something recommendable in a case like
this %-} You'd think there would be something more in keeping with
"conventional wisdom"

It is certainly ironic, but there is a simple explanation, namely that the
fields not only reside in a paragraph of text; they also insert paragraphs
(that is, one for each TOC/TOF entry). With field codes displayed, you only
need one paragraph mark per field:

{ TOC \o "1-3" }¶
{ TOC \c "Figure" }¶

(Of course, in practice you also need a paragraph for the TOC/TOF heading.)

Agreed that it is ironic, but I can't tell you how much trouble I've gotten
into (especially with conflicting styles) over this issue. It can be
extremely frustrating when you're trying to combine two TOCs seamlessly.
