Its certainly something I'm considering.

Looking at the epub spec, it does say the playorder should start at 1. It also says it should increment by one - although only for time data.

From the spec and what I've seen here, there doesn't seem to be any reason to update the playorder, except for cosmetic reasons (which is a still a valid reason).

So basically you want to keep the same playorder as the current file but just change the sequence to start at 1 and increment by 1? (so if its 2 5 6 8 9 it becomes 1(2) 2(5) 3(6) 4(8) 5(9) )

I'm also thinking about the whole TOC editing issue - there are many requests/suggestions for making TOC editing better, and if there were a TOC editor it could handle this reordering easily enough. On the other hand, implementing a more sophisticated TOC editor will take a long time, and not everyone will want to edit the TOC just to cleanup re-numbering.
