The package provides a mechanism to reset counters per page and/or keep their occurences sorted in order of appearance on the page.

The package also defines a command \MakePerPage that designates a counter to be reset per page. For example \MakePerPage[2]{footnote} will cause footnote numbers to start at 2 at the start of every page (the optional argument defaults to 1). The machanism may require multiple passes to work; LaTeX gives the usual changed label warning if this is necessary.

The package is distributed as part of the bigfoot bundle.
