How to I set it so that the numbering continues from previous chapter, and create the new file in xhtml?

Does it matter what file format (xhtml/html) the files are in?

Any help appreciated.
the file NAME-number does not have anything to do with the name of the chapter , nor does it really delineate a book 'Chapter'. (The TOC/NCX is part of a set of position markers that we call Chapters. This is controlled by the Order the name appear in the Book Browser' list)

The (Sigil) Name-Numbering is for us humans .
It allows us to keep things in the proper order. The default number plan of split takes the parent file name and adds a number suffix. Alpha-numeric sorting rules want leading zeros so you don't get the 10,100,2,20 sort results.
And, you, you can sort the name list. Be careful that your naming alpha sorts properly, there is no undo for a sort (or name drag) except to discard that Sigil edit SESSION.
