For the latter (sorting by Chapter number), in MT 2.0 you'll be able to sort by title, so that will fix that.

The former is actually kind of tricky; one way to do it would be to get rid of your Main Index contents and use a server side include to pull in the first archived entry (because, presumably, the main page should always display the first chapter).

Depending on your setup the path (archives/000001.html) may be different, but the concept is the same.

I'm attempting to build a site for a novel-in-progress using MT. I'm splitting up the (long) chapters into separate entries, with handy previous/next entry link navigation, and turning comments on only at the the end of each chapter. I'm stupid and can't seem to do the following things, though:

? Start the first chapter (oldest entry only) on the front page
? Get the archive list in ascending order (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, etc.)

I suppose I could fudge the entries' post dates since the dates aren't displayed anywhere, but I figure there's gotta be an easier way. Any enlightenment appreciated.

Thanks, Ben. SSI it is.
