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so am i using a no longer maintained/supported plugin or is it a known issue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
Can you run the Scramble eBook plugin on your omnibus and test that the scrambled copy still shows this issue? If it does, then post a copy of the unmodified scrambled eBook and we can test it do see if Modify ePub is changing the order of the eBook. I've never see this done and I've been using Modify ePub basically since it came out.

As for being maintained, it has been maintained. It gets updated to keep compatibility with the changes in Calibre.
