Tools - LibreOffice Writer - AutoCaption Basic problem #1: Cannot select "Caption Order" separately for different objects. For example. 1. Select checkbox for LibreOffice Writer Frame and set Caption Order to "Numbering First". 2. Then select checkbox for LibreOffice Writer Image and set Caption Order to "Category First" 3. Then place cursor back on Frame. Actual result: Caption Order is "Category First" Expected result: Caption Order is "Numbering First" In other words, the last Caption Order setting is applied globally, when it is expected that it can be set locally for different objects. Basic problem #2: The "Caption Order" setting is always changed by the value selected in Insert Caption - Options - Caption Order. For example. 1. In Tools - LibreOffice Writer - Autocaption, select checkbox for LibreOffice Writer Frame and set Caption Order to "Numbering First". 2. Select an image in a Writer document, then Insert - Caption - Options and set Caption Order to "Category first", then Ok. Actual result: Caption Order in Autocaption is changed to value set in Insert - Caption - Options dialog. Expected result: Options dialog does not affect setting in Autocaption. Have reported these two problems together, because they seem related, but can make a separate ticket if necessary.

I confirm the described behaviour, but to have a consistant layout, it's the expected behaviour. To make it more clear I would make caption order only selectable, if you click on that dialog (should be greyed out in all other cases) > Basic problem #2: The "Caption Order" setting is always changed by the > value selected in Insert Caption - Options - Caption Order. I confirm the described behaviour. To support a consistant layout it's the expected behaviour, but this behaviour isn't clear for the user. We should at least add a tooltip and add information to help page [1] But I see a different problem #3 A change in caption order settings doesn't affect existing captions LO should at least give an option for that. In sum: Topic for design-team

Plausible use case for wanting different caption orders for different objects For image or user-defined: First Illustration Second Illustration Third Illustration For table: Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 > A change in caption order settings doesn't affect existing captions LO same point raised in bug 153248, comment 4
Yes, this is missing. Relevant for bug 153248 about UI redesign.
