The resulting ePub file loads and reads fine in Sigil, but when I load it onto my ereader the split sections display out of order. I can't be absolutely certain, but they seem to display in the order they were split. (For example, Chapter 3 ends prematurely, at the point where I split it in Sigil. I was up to Chapter 11 when I was splitting them in Sigil, when I went back and split Chapter 3 into two bits. So now, in my ereader, the part of Chapter 3 past the split appears at Chapter 11.)
Is this expected behaviour? The sections display in correct order when I open the file in Sigil; how do I reorder them in the file itself so they open in the correct order in my ereader?

Hi:
I'm not sure this is helpful, as I cannot see what you have in front of you, but do the individual xhtml files appear in the order in which they are supposed to appear in the book when you look at them in the book browser pane? In other words, do they look like this:
--Cover
--Chap 1
--Chap 2
--Chap 3a
--Chap 3b
--Chapt 4
blahblah
--Chap 11
Or do they look like this?
--Chap 3a
--Chap 4
--Chap 5
--etc.
--Chap 11
--Chap 3b
If the former, I have no idea what to tell you. If the latter, then just drag-n-drop Chap 3b, in the brook browser pane, to just beneath Chap 3a. That will correctly place it in sequence.
I hope this helps.
