You need to go to 'Edit Book' and drag the chapters up and down in the File Browser in the lower-left part of the window. After you get them in order, you can 'Edit TOC', delete all the entries, and then auto-generate new entries from Files.

Of course, this isn't as easy as it sounds, because the chapters will probably have nonsensical names. So, you may have to open every chapter, then rename the file to match the chapter, then sort them. This will probably be a slog.

Thank you, fogice and theducks! Noted on the TOC. I learned it the hard way that the reading order was not changed. But used all your tips and they worked! Good thing the chapters in the Browser were recognizable so I rearranged everything easily. Now it matches the new TOC, the page numbers are in order, and the book progress is now accurate.

Thank you for the help, everyone! Cheers!
