Hi Dave

You might put each MasterTopic in a tab with a "create-subTopic"-
button at the top..
This could be automated via fET...

You can sort by almost any value: slice, field, custom field,
datavalue etc...
I put a few examples with references here: 
http://linux4u.tiddlyspace.com/#%5B%5BSort%20by..%5D%5D
You might create a slice :
book:The letter of Jude 01-02
and fetch it like this: sortBy 'store.getTiddlerText(tiddler.title
+"::book","")'

If I should make it easier to use I would automate the mainmenu tabs
with Erics ShowTabsForTags http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ShowTabsForTags
or create a fET which should sort the tabs by slices, fields og
datavalues... or replace the tabs with pMarios x-list Plugin
see example http://apm-plugins.tiddlyspot.com/#XListPluginTest (click
ActivateStyling and ⇕)...

I like your design very much! I was very fond of your "Jude - a visual
web commentary", which lends itself better for normal screens...
Will you consider to publish these two designs to the public?

I understand your frustrations about the TreeViewplugin, however you
have a lot more going for you if you use slices, custom fields or
datavalues for your sorting purposes...
