Maintain creation order of artboards when exporting to pdf

Artboard export to pdf is currently top left to bottom right. When linking to the PDF from InDesign this may mess up the links if artboards are rearranged or added later.

An option to change this behavior to be closer to Illustrator would fix this issue. I.e. export in order of creation.

Unless there is another way to reference XD files from within InDesign?

    Quick follow up on this:
    I found a workaround in the meantime: Instead of exporting all artboards to a single pdf and then link to the full pdf from InDesign specifying page numbers, I can export the artboards to individual pdfs and reference them individually from InDesign.

    Hi Elaine, this is a request for XD.
    Be able to control the order of the exported artboards in the generated PDF. Current behavior: Order is based on location on canvas. Desired behavior: Order based on creation (same as in Illustrator).

    (Of course, a more direct integration between XD and Indesign would be nice too. I guess that would be a request for both InDesign and XD)
