Hi,

I just discovered a useful thing that is not documented (at least not
where I would expect it to be at
http://sphinx.pocoo.org/markup/toctree.html)

A `toctree` with `:glob:` flag option not only supports ``*`` but also
the ``?`` wildcard character.

I use this to have the correct sort order in an automatic index for
pages are named using simple numbers, starting from `1.rst`. When I have
more than 9 files (12 for example), then a simple ``*`` would yield a
toctree sorted 1, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4. But if I use the following construct::

  .. toctree::
    :maxdepth: 1
    :glob:

    ?
    ??

then I get the expected order 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12.

In short: Sphinx is great :-)

Luc
