Hey Valloric, thanks for your input. Yeah, I assumed Sigil was ordering the pieces in the compiled ePub file as they appear in the browser, but it doesn't seem to be, and I'm not sure why. As I said, they don't appear out of order in the browser window, so there doesn't appear to be any re-ordering to be done.
Hm... have you tried opening the epub in Adobe Digital Editions? If the sections are in the correct order in that program, then there's a problem with your reader.

There could also be a bug in Sigil where the sections are in one order when editing the epub, but in another when saved. You can check for this easily: save the epub file, close Sigil, start Sigil again and then open the epub. If the sections are in the same order when the epub is saved and opened again, then they're written correctly to the OPF <spine>. Sigil reads the <spine> when opening the epub so the order the sections appear when the epub is first opened is the order in which these files appear in the OPF.

If you confirm there's a problem with saving this file, I'd love to see a bug report about it.
