I would be very reluctant to use drag-n-drop to preserve the order of my 
writing.

What I did the last time was create tiddler for each anticipated chapter, 
numbered like

01 Intro

The tiddler would tagged with the name of the book/story, the tag 
"Chapter", and a chapter field (double digit zero buffered)

Each chapter is built of several sections (because you probably don't want 
to to be editing thousands of words in a single tiddler). Each section 
tiddler is given a tag for the story, a section field (double digit 
buffered, count in increments of 10) and the chapter number (double digit 
buffered).

Then inside your chapter you use something like:

<$list filter="[tag[Story]chapter[01]has[section]sort[section]]" >
<$link to={{!!title}}>{{!!title}}</$link>

<$transclude mode="block"/>

</$list>

You could put that all into a macro for convenience so you could say 
<<storychapter 01>>. If I was doing it now, I'd add reveal blocks for each 
transcluded section.

Now you can see your chapter broken into sections. If you want to edit a 
section, you just click on the link about the section. You control the 
order of the text through the section number. If you want to break a 
section into smaller sections, use the excision tool and then give each 
tiddler an appropriate section number (which is why I suggest enumerating 
by 10 initially -- there's always gaps between the numbers). You could 
create several pre-numbered blank tiddlers for each chapter, so that as you 
write you can just start a new section without interruption.

Write on!
