If you go to [[b:Special:Book]] and use the button to create some chapters in the order you want them in your book, e.g.: * Glossary of Biology/A * Glossary of Biology/B * ... * Glossary of Biology/Z you will get the chapters in reverse order: ;Glossary of Biology/Z ;... ;Glossary of Biology/B ;Glossary of Biology/A This is wrong and should be fixed, because currently the options are either: * Use drag and drop feature (if you can use it at all) to do a lot of permutations; * Clear your collection and recreate the chapters in the reverse order [do you know the alphabet from Z to A? ;-) ]
Currently a chapter is added to the front of the item. For the above use-case this is unfortunate. But changing the behaviour would break other use-cases. Therefore I vote for not changing this.

Could you provide some examples of use-cases which would break if the extension was improved for the cases described? I think the situation described in comment 0 includes the most common cases on Wikibooks projects, were the structure (order of chapters) of the books are already defined when we want to create a PDF/ODT/printed version of them? Besides, the feature certaily doesn't works as expected at the moment, so I don't think this bug should be tagged as WORKSFORME.
