Yes, you are right. > I understand that topic based help is supposed to document individual chunks > of information to the user, and that these chunks should be able to > stand-alone, but it still seems necessary to present those topics in a > logical order.

This is something we probably need to discuss with Shaun, maybe during (or after) the next team meeting (Sunday 8th November). > Milo, is your "hack" to list the preferred order of the other .page files > from within the index.page file? That's wha it seems like you are doing in > the example you provided. Yes, at the moment the only way to achieve some sort of ordering that I know of is in that way. Still, topics in a section get sorted alphabetically by their title.
