About Button Numbers
Each time you add a button to a menu, in addition to its name (which you can change),
it is assigned a number (which you cannot directly change) based on the order in which
you added it to the menu.
The button’s number
The button’s name
The first button you manually add to a menu is named and numbered “Button 1,” the
second is “Button 2,” and so on. How a button fits in the order is important for four reasons:
• Button number 1 is the default button selected when the menu plays if no other button
has been set as the menu’s default button.
• The button order determines the priority of the buttons if they overlap. Higher
numbered buttons have a higher priority and can cover up lower numbered buttons.
• The button order affects the creation of chapter index menus (see Applying Templates
or Layout Styles to a Menu with Buttons).
• The button order affects the number pad setting for viewers directly accessing a menu’s
buttons from the DVD player’s remote control.
While you cannot change this number in the Button Inspector, you can change it using
the shortcut menu that appears when you Control-click a button.
