Hints and tips

• It is possible to clear the Order of Consideration if you no longer require one.
• It’s only possible to add an Order of Consideration once there is a published version of the bill
• There is only one Order of Consideration saved against each bill version, but it can be updated as many times as needed.  
• Updating an Order of Consideration will only affect new lists, it will not retrospectively change the sort order of existing lists, unless they were re-generated
• If there is only 1 schedule in the bill, you do not need to populate the ‘from’ and ‘to’ fields
• If you are only including one section/schedule in a level, you will need to populate both "from" and "to" fields with the same number e.g. Clause(s) 1 to 1
