I noticed that footnotes are in sequence by verse but not by reference letter. You can see 1a, 1c, 1,d then 1b. Check 1Bephi but this seems to be pervasive.

Which chapter are you in? Are you running the release version of 4.0.3?

Every verse I looked at has the footnotes in order. Could you give an exact verse where you see the problem?

I am having the same problem. I have a screenshot 1 Peter 3.
It seems to be the same throughout the Bible. Help.

For some reason the footnotes in 1 Nephi 1:1 are in order for me, but the footnotes in 1 Nephi 1:4 and 1 Peter 3:7 are out of order. In any case, it's definitely a bug, and it seems to only affect the iOS app (so it's not purely a content problem). I've passed it on to the developers.

I believe you, but note that everything in your screenshot appears to be in proper order. I know. These computers. [grin]

And sbradshaw is correct. I have not run into this problem with Android.

In the screenshot of 1 Peter that sconover posted, several of the footnote letters are out of order in the sidebar.

Are we looking at the same screen shot? I'd expect the list on the right to have 7d come after 7b, not before it.

My mistake. You are correct. The footnotes are not sorted correctly in the sidebar (and some are missing). At least the information is correct, so it appears just to be a sidebar sorting problem.

Which goes to show you what I think of the new sidebar system. I never look at it. But that is for another topic.

Sorry to confuse.

This is a setting – go to Settings and turn off the "Hide Footnotes" option.
