# Filter Order

If you are using Dynamic Content Filtering in your merge, you need a topic similar to this one. Otherwise this topic is not needed.

It is required to show the filters in the order you want.

1. It must be included in the TOC so that it is in the output. Set Hide In Output in TOC Properties as whilst it must be in the output, you don't want users to see it.
2. Also set Exclude This Topic From Search in Topic Properties so that it cannot be found that way.

Without this page, the filters will appear in the output in random order.
