I installed this in my test environment and created a book. I entered the book name, added 3 chapters, and assigned the chapters to the book. Then I viewed my book. Yuck. Chapters are listed in reverse chronological order just like they would be on the posts archive page. Ugh. That is what I was trying to avoid. I would like a book that looks like a book, reads like a book, has pointers to the next chapter and the last chapter, starts with the first chapter and moves forward through the book to the last chapter. This is not that.

Without the ability to order, sort, insert Chapters in a specific order, this plugin isn’t quite ready for even basic usage. Unfortunate, because it is a very good idea for a plugin that no one seems to be doing very well.

So far so good. A must for writers looking to tidying their posts into a proper online book =)
