For example, if you need one to be at index 120 and you have existing attributes that include 119, then you can append the new one to your attributes temporarily, then clear the right panel of Attribute Manager. Select 119 on the left and OVERWRITE it on the right - it will still be 119 there. Now find your attribute at the bottom of the list on the left (you appended there, and APPEND it to the list on the right - it will then get the next number, 120. Delete the temporary copy on the left, then select the one numbered 120 on the right and OVERWRITE back to the left. Other times, you'll duplicate an entry in the list just to bump the number up for your append so that you get the number you need, then overwrite it back to the host file.
Any way to manage the index numbers?

Ideally, one works in a way that does not require this messy solution ... reserving it for when a mistake has to be corrected.
