This is always a problem with computers in general. The most common solution is to place leading zeros in the names, and it will sort correctly eg; 01. First 01.1 First First 02. Second ... 10. Tenth 10.1 Tenth First
I believe the special sort treatment of Erics would be in his FET (For Each Tiddler) plugin which is a much more involved version of tiddlerlist macro. A really basic way to do this would be to have a single tiddler in which you manualy list the chapter tiddlers in the order in which they apear and call this the TOC (Table of contents) tiddler and refer to it where every you need to - a manual sort. Another method I employed was when I wanted the following tiddlers to apear in this order Gold Silver Bronze Blue Green Was to add a sort field to each and give it a suitable value eg; Gold 10 Silver 20 Bronze 30 Blue 40 Green 50 I used tens to allow future insertions. I then used FET with a sort on the field rather than the title to put the list in correct order. This also allows you to choose when you display the chapter numbers in lists etc... and your links (within one chapter) to another chapter by text name only means it remains valid regardless of the order in which you place them. I really like the tiddlerlistmacro myself and use it allot, perhaps the order in the above solution can be specified as "sortfield" or you could use the evaluated field somehow. Although this method is a little more to setup and maintain it may avert the problem of you inserting a new chapter at the beginning because you will not need to rename every subsequent chapter. Hope this gives you something to work with.
