Smile TOC almost right but one page out of order

Hi:

Making progress with Calibri -- converting from xhtml files to epub and mobi.

My novel has been broken up into separate files: one for each chapter, a preface, dedication, etc. I then created a Table of Contents page/file listing all the pages/files in the order I want them to flow, with their links:

Code:
<p class="chapter">Table of Contents</p>
<p><a href="dedicate.html">Dedication</a></p>
<p><a href="preface.html">Preface</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter01.html">Chapter 1</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter02.html">Chapter 2</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter03.html">Chapter 3</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter04.html">Chapter 4</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter05.html">Chapter 5</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter06.html">Chapter 6</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter07.html">Chapter 7</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter08.html">Chapter 8</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter09.html">Chapter 9</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter10.html">Chapter 10</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter11.html">Chapter 11</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter12.html">Chapter 12</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter13.html">Chapter 13</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter14.html">Chapter 14</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter15.html">Chapter 15</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter16.html">Chapter 16</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter17.html">Chapter 17</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter18.html">Chapter 18</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter19.html">Chapter 19</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter20.html">Chapter 20</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter21.html">Chapter 21</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter22.html">Chapter 22</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter23.html">Chapter 23</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter24.html">Chapter 24</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter25.html">Chapter 25</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter26.html">Chapter 26</a></p>
<p><a href="chapter27.html">Chapter 27</a></p>
<p><a href="author-note.html">Author Note</a></p>
<p><a href="pubinfo.html">Publishing Information</a></p>
That document: toc.html is what I feed into "add book" and all the associated files followed, etc.

My problem is after I go through all the steps and convert to epub or to mobi, I get a nice functioning TOC that LISTS all the chapters, etc. in the right order, but when I go through the actual book, swiping page to page, I get to the end and the Publishing Info. page comes before the Author-note pages instead of after them.

I have used the Calibri Editor and manually changed the order, putting Author Note before the Publishing Information for the epub and it saves and it appears correctly in the TOC but NOT the actual flow of the text.


???

Thanks for any assistance!

Thanks for reporting back.

Those tiny syntax errors are sometimes very hard to spot.
