Manually Reoganize items in the Groups?

I have several multipart files grouped in the Download list. However, due to the way they were posted, Newsbin is grouping them incorrectly which makes Autopar fail.
Is there some way of manually moving the files between the groupings?

You could make them into NZB's, delete them from the download list, then hand edit the NZB's.

Quade,
I am not sure if there is some way for Newsbin to handle these types of post w/o manually trying to reorganize the NZB.
I have E-mailed you an example.

930 rars spread over 4 sets of pars so, no single PAR notes all the RAR files. You're probably going to have to unrar this by hand.

It's posted wrong, pure and simple. It's messed up because they split the RARs at 4 megs instead of a more reasonable 50 so, they had to have 10 times too many files. As far as I can tell, there weren't bumping into the PAR block count limits so, there was no real reason to split this 4 Gig set over 4 sets of PARS.

You can make Newsbin unrar it by downloading the lower numbers rars last but, you'll have to manually clean up.

Both the rar and par were divided into sets. e.g.
rar1-100
rar101-200
rar201-300
par1-10
par11-20
par21-30

so, according to your suggestion, I would put them in this order:
rar201-300
rar101-200
rar1-100

What about the par files? Any particular order to get them downloaded (if needed)?

I added the three complete sets (with pars) first. Then added the lowest number rars and pars so, they downloaded last. You have to add both the rars and pars. There's not need for the rars and pars to be combined. Newsbin will download the pars first and then recognized the RAR files.

So, add the 3 highest numbered sets in one go, rars and pars, then add the lowest number rars and pars so, the fall after the first three sets.

The problem has nothing to do with the fact the rars and pars aren't grouped together. The problem is that a single set of RAR files is split over 4 different blocks of PAR files so, no single par describes all the files.
