Sigil created Section0036 and Section0037 AT THE END of my document list.
I would have expected the splits to be after the parent section (split001)
AFAIK I did not have Sections 0001 thru 0036
Yep, that is annoying. Especially for me, running on a KDE linux system where I can't just drag the new splits into the proper place in book view. To do that, I need to externally edit the content.opf file.

but I think there are bugtracker issues already entered for this problem, and hopefully it will be fixed soon (the positioning of splits, not the inability to drag chapters around under KDE).

My usual tasksinvolve converting an InDesign CS4 epub export into a real epub. So in that case, I start with one xhtml file containing the entire book, and I place sigil chapter breaks throughout the whole thing (and a bunch of other edits which I won't go into) before importing into sigil. Then when I hit the split button, all splits occur in the right order.

In other words, I specify ALL splits before I do any. Then, and only then, do they come out in the right order.
