Hello Wolfgang,

I'm glad you're trying out rest2web. I'm putting a bit of work into it
at the moment.

You're correct - they're basically in an 'arbitrary' order, which turns
out to be the order of the files in the directory.

In the version in SVN there is a way to set this order - but it's
currently undocumented. It's one of the features of the forthcoming
0.4.0 release and I'm working on the docs.

This is the new 'section-pages' keyword in the restindex (of the
relevant index page). 'section-pages' sets the order of pages within
each section. The order of sections obviously follows the 'sectionlist'
keyword.

To set the order of pages in the default section, add something like
this to the restindex : ::

    section-pages: , page1, page2, page3

Note the extra leading ',' to specify the default section. Alternatively
you can do : ::

    section-pages: section-name, page1, page2, page3

page1 equates to page1.txt, page2 to the file page2.txt, etc.

This should set the order the pages appear in the 'sections' data
structure *and* the sidebar - if it doesn't, then let me know. :-)

All the best,
