target document [%s] is not in an opened and unlocked notebo

Error message

target document [%s] is not in an opened and unlocked notebook

What it means

ReorderDocs notebook guard: the target document exists, but Conf.Box(target.BoxID) returned nil — its notebook is closed, nonexistent, or currently locked (encrypted and not unlocked). Reordering requires an opened, writable notebook.

Solutions

1. Open the target notebook in the notebook list
2. Unlock the encrypted notebook before reordering
