Choose file order for Analyze Files batch task

A client may need the translations in a project with multiple documents and cross-file repetitions to be delivered in a specified order. The ability to specify this file order for the Analyze Files batch task would provide us with accurate analysis results based on the order the translator will have to translate the files in. The end result is of course the same if all the documents will be translated by one and the same translator, but this would help us in setting separate deadlines and creating separate purchase orders.

  • Adding to this, I think a sequential/cascading analysis of the files in a project would definitely be helpful. We recently had a situation where a client analyzed a set of files together and then assigned the files to different linguists, with the resulting problem that a linguist got a PO that indicated that 50% of her file were reps, except that wasn't really the case, as they weren't internal reps but rather cross-file reps with files she didn't work on and had no access to.
