1. A method of operating a hand held optical indicia reader comprising: capturing, in a setup mode, images of setup symbologies; displaying symbology representations of the setup symbologies on a graphic user interface (GUI); sorting at least two of the setup symbology images into a sequencing order utilizing the displayed setup symbology representations, wherein the setup symbology images may be the same or different; storing the sequencing order; capturing in a use mode an image of a target having at multiple use symbologies provided thereon, the multiple use symbologies correlating with at least one of the setup symbologies; decoding at least two of the use symbologies; and, outputting the decoded use symbologies in the sequencing order.
