Hi,
I need to reorder the movements of a file, for ex. the number 1 should be the last, the 2 the first, etc. Is there a good way to do this ? I'll try erasing the first movement but I loose all the systems settings of the 2nd movement by doing this.
Thanks in advance

If you want to erase the 1st movement, use Page Layout > Delete Staff Systems instead. The stave spacing for the 2nd and all succeeding movements will then remain untouched. Just select all systems of the 1st movement and run the command. Use this also for any other movements.
I would probably split the file into separate files for each movement and then attempt to stitch them back together with Score Merger. It might help to know how many movements and what the new order will be. Also, are there linked parts involved or not. If no linked parts, it might be worth keeping each movement in its own Finale file and putting it together in a PDF editor.

this was what I was looking for, thanks ! : "Page Layout > Delete Staff Systems instead."
Then, the best way I found to reorder is to merge two equal scores and just delete the movements with the method mention before
