Hello everyone,

SDL Trados mixes the segment order of the original text after completing alignment. You can see a visual example on the two attached images.

Is there any way to lock the source segment order and force Trados to retain the original text flow when saving the xliff.

It's become an issue since I'm aligning bilingual texts and exporting them for external review.
The mixed segment order makes the work of our proofreaders really hard.
