Maybe this is already in Scrivener, and I’ve missed it. (I’m sure Maria or Amber will jump in with the answer, if so 🙂 )

But I’d like a way to lock the binder so that documents could only be shuffled if I unlocked it first (similar to the way you can lock a document when you’re messing with the binder). The lock should persist from one usage of Scrivener to the next. My fear (and this has happened) is that I’ll carelessly be selecting a file or files to drag from the binder to the references and I’ll get everything out of order. Then, as clumsiness seems to breed more clumsiness, my attempts to move things back shuffles the documents even more. (Of course, cursing ensues.)

In the meantime, I’ve numbered all of my documents, but for the future… 🙂
