Quickly put, the weight of an entry in BC's outlining should be the magnitude of the chapter number.

Chapters 1-9 -- weight=0
Chapters 10-99 -- weight =1
Chapters 100-999 -- weight = 2

This gets winkled with if chapter numbers are spelled out or done in Roman numerals but the reason to do it this way is sothe outliner pages will alphabetize the titles correcctly. All the titles with lowest weight are done first, then next higher weight, etc.

Multi-book works like Me and Sam get more complex. :)
