Hi David,

That's an interesting question. The DPL manual page on output order is here. My first thought is that if you are creating the question pages in numerical order, you could use a parameter like ordermethod=firstedit to sort the list based on the creation order of the pages. For instance, this dpl code

{{#dpl:
|titlematch=Math_Exam_Resources/Courses/MATH152/April_2011/Question%
|nottitlematch=Math_Exam_Resources/Courses/MATH152/April_2011/%/%
|replaceintitle=$Math Exam Resources/Courses/MATH152/April 2011/$, 
|namespace=Science
|shownamespace=false
|ordermethod=firstedit
|columns=3
|rowcolformat=width=70%
|noresultsheader=No pages found.
}}

seems to output in the desired order:

However, this method relies entirely on question pages being built in numerical order. Maybe that would work, though? I'll try to think of other options.

I already know that some exam questions were not created in that order, so that would not work as a general solution (I should have thought of that, we could have accommodated that though).

I'm starting to think that having them renamed into 01, 02, ... isn't such a bad thing and is fairly easy to implement in the few exams that require it. I won't implement that for another few days though, so if you come up with another idea, let me know!

Cheers,
