modify epub plugin changes order of book files

i have used this plug in for years
but now it it mangling an omnibus edition that I am tidying
it seems to perform an unwanted alpha sort of the htm files, ordering them by title!

so any places where I have added splits are getting shuffled to end of book

e.g. 1st .htm file should be publication info - that is moving to the end.
so are all the splits I introduce,via sigil, which have names like section xxx

its definitely the plug in because I can save "before" and "after" version of the book to compare

so am i using a no longer maintained/supported plugin or is it a known issue

any suggestions for an alternative workflow please

for now I have laboriously renamed every affected file, then resolved to not run the plug in on this book ever again.
most frustrating
a coupe of times, wen proof reading, I have wrongly concluded that I@d deleted entire chapters and have been replacing the m from backups, but in fact those chpters were still there but moved to end of book
a
why ?

i searched here for modify epub bu find no relevant threads
i see nothign in plug in preferences that could be causing this

any suggestions for an alternative workflow please or a better plug in that does the same stuff i.e. that auto regenerates a toc to match any edit changes I have made
