Could you give a more specific example of what you are doing?
In 0.5.2 at least, if I open an epub with no bookid or a blank bookid (created by unzipping/manually editing/zipping a good epub file), or delete the bookid in content.opf and save, Sigil puts in BookId as the id and all the chapters are left as is. Or are you doing something different?
Sort in the book browser can certainly give you issues if your chapters aren't supposed to be in alphabetical or numerical order
But although that might fix the chapter order issue, it wouldn't fix metadata if indeed its going missing.
