Some editors enter the page number as [123] to indicate something is on a page that would be page 123 if it had a number. The code accepts this but apparently sorts those pages to the bottom of the list. Most of the time this is not an issue as people are using [x] for material at the end of the publication.

I have not looked at the code but assume there's existing logic that scans the contents and internally translates roman numbers to decimal so that the contents can be displayed in the correct order. This feature request would be a modification to that logic to ignore "[" and "]" characters when translating the Page field to the value used for sorting.
