This lets me move single pages after 2-pagers even if the single page happened first, pair 2 single page layouts that look good together even if there are supposed to be a few pages in between them, etc. For things where the exact day does matter, like a birthday, I include it. I also include it on Project Life pages. When I'm pulling my photobook together, I add a number before each layout so that they sort in the order I want them to appear in the book.
This makes a lot of sense! I don't think I ever thought of it that way, and it would help with moving layouts around to fit double layouts. But I am not a person who likes change...so not sure I could do it! But it is something to think about!
