Entry order in book items
Would love a way (if I'm not overlooking one that already exists) to set a book to display entries in reverse order. The default order is "most recent first" no matter what "Item Type" you choose. That makes sense for a blog, but not a novel. Typically, as a writer, I start with chapter 1 and write to the end, and I'd like the Book Item to display it that way. It seems like my only choice is to manually number everything in reverse order, which is really tedious and confusing (Chapter 34 is 0100, while Chapter 1 is 3400.) It would be nice if a "novel" Item Type defaulted to "most recent last" or if there was a way to change the default. I can pick "most recent last" in the Manage This Book screen, but it only seems to reverse how *I* see it (for the purpose of management/admin) not how the reader sees it. Am I overlooking an option?

Cheers,
Michelle
