I think I asked about this before but didn't get an answer.
It's likely that nobody knows, then, but the matter seems interesting
and maybe I'll be luckier this time.

As I probably said before, if you wanted to tile two windows in
PageMaker and have one of them come up on the left, all you had to
do was have that one selected when you selected the Tile command.
This doesn't work in InDesign, though, and I find myself baffled
as to how the order is determined at all. Namely, my 10A file came
up on the right and my 10B on the left, while I want it the other
way around because I like to copy from left to right as a rule.
I renamed the files to 10D and 10C respectively but then 10D came
up on the right, indicating that the determining factor, assuming
there is one and it isn't random, is something other than the
alphabetic order of the names.

I opened five files, tiled their windows and it looked like the
order was based on the modification date,

1 2 3

4 5

with the oldest at the upper left, but that wasn't it either.

Finally I tried opening the files in different orders, and it
looks like that's it. First one opened, (upper) left; last one
opened, (lower) right. The files presumably opened in order of
modification date previously, so the order then wasn't purely
coincidental. I don't know how story windows figure with this,
but I haven't yet had occasion to care.
