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
