A METHOD OF ORDERING DISPLAYED DOCUMENT IMAGES IN AN IMAGE BASED DOCUMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM

A method which provides for controlling the ordering of document images in an image based document processing system so as to minimize the likelihood of an operator making an incorrect entry. In a particular preferred embodiment, transactions comprised of a single deposit ticket and a single check are reordered when displayed for amount entry so that they are separated by at least one document image. This minimizes data entry errors, since an operator cannot assume that successively displayed items are related.
