Question How do I correctly define the linear page ordering in my book?

Hi

I'm working on a big book project (a custom bible) and I'm a little confused about the page ordering.

I've created my own Table of Contents file using the proper NCX structure, with all the testaments/books/chapters in the order they should be displayed.. and I've taken great care to make sure the playOrder attribute in the toc.ncx navPoint nodes follow the correct progression as a reader would expect.

I assumed this playOrder attribute would be used to define the linear progression of my book when I flip from page to page.. but it does not.

It's rendering my toc.xhtml first, then the cover.xhtml, and then continues through all of my other xhtml files in alphanumeric order.. totally ignoring the playOrder I defined in the toc.ncx.

Is there a way (preferably through markup) I can explicitly define the linear progression of the xhtml files, or do my .xhtml files need to be named sequentially in sigil?

I'm not quite understanding how this works.

Thank you
