I am trying to create title pages for my various stories
I have created a title page for the revision to the Prophet
https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/book-page/81980/prophet-revision
And that part seems to be sucessful but when I tried to make links to the various chapters. I seem to have created a title page or something for each of them instead of linking directly to each story under the title. And its really got me confused
can someone show me how to do this
I want to create a title page and links to each chapter for each of my main stories, The Prophet Revision
The original Prophet
and Liliths Messenger
and he shouldn't have teased his sister
I am trying to work on a page for the Revised Prophet right now and im up to chapter two, but isntead of direct links I think I made a main title page for each one where the link is in it

First of all
You need to title each chapter exactly alike except for the chapter number. I have done this for the five revised chapters of your Prophet story and attached them to the title page you created. You can open them up to see what they look like and how I connected them. The chapters are all connected directly to the title page and if you have labeled them correctly they will fall in order.

will the titles for the Lilith story cause problems
The 1 of 3 and 2 of 3
That's because
The first chapter was like this:
Liliths Messenger chapter 1 of 3
It should have been
Lilith's Messenger Chapter 1 of 3
Which would match the other two chapters
Missing punctuation or one chapter capitalized and the other two not causes them to fall out of order. They should be EXACTLY the same except for the chapter number. I changed the first chapter to match the other two and now the three chapters are in order.

Subtitles
The part of the title AFTER the chapter number can be different, chapter to chapter; like a subtitle or chapter title. But up to the chapter number, the titles have to be exactly the same for the outliner to work as designed.

'Exactly' the same means just that
I use Open Office Writer though I suspect Word will be the same. Titles tend to use upper case letters at the begining of words. If you inadvertently hold down shift when using the space bar between words you get a shifted space which looks the same as an unshifted space but it is treated differently when sorted because one of its bits is set to 1 not 0.
Too, the use of - in Open Office Writer can be problematic as it regularly becomes transitioned, pun intended, into –, which is a completely different character. It's longer and thinner. The exact circumstances under which this happens took me an age to fathom, but though it's useful in titles be careful when using it.
In addition if you use, as I do in my Castle The Series, say four digit numbering starting at 0000, 0001, 0002, ..., 0010, ..., 0099, 0100 &c., rather than 1, 2, ..., 10, ..., 99, 100 &c., then the stories will order correctly without recourse to the weighting function. Since I have used 0000 that's 10,000 possibilities in total. I return all weightings to 0 to make my tales order correctly which will work up to tale 9999. I only use three digits for the Grumpy Old Men which will be enough.
This works because 'Tale 004' comes before 'Tale 015', the first six characters 'Tale 0' are the same and 04 comes before 15. However, 'Tale 4' would come after 'Tale 15' because the first five characters 'Tale ' are the same and then 1 comes before 4. Remember the space has to be counted as a character too.

thank you
I figured most of it out.
