   The MPS Atlas window appears.

4. Right-click the map series on the MPS Atlas window and click Map Series Properties.

   The Map Series Properties dialog box appears.

5. Click the Sort Options tab.
6. Check the Automatically Sort Map Sheets check box if you want map sheets sorted automatically.
7. Click Page Number to sort by page number or Map Sheet Name to sort by name.
8. Click OK.
