I think you got it right :) And if you open a topic, which is not part of the actual story, the navigation in the footer is changed, from black to blue. The StoryGlueMacro searches all known stories, if the actual topic is part of it. And displays a (blue) set of stories, which contain the actual Topic. You can switch the story if you want. As I wrote, if breadcrumbs is installed, it is also possible to find the way back.

The navigation macro needs it that way, if you want a manually generated order. There is a possibility to "feed" the navigationMacro with a tagged list, which is orderd by name :( > It seems the *order* for topics is auto sorted by title of the topic The main menue is automatic generated and sorted by name.

I didn't solve the "sorting by name problem" :( .. yet It was the reason for me to extend the core list macro with <<list numberedText ..>>[3]. It is not the right solution for me, because I don't want to name tiddlers that way, but it thought it may be usefull for others. > ...

If you want to shuffle them there is an other plugin -> jQSorter [1] which is a little bit experimental, since it was the first time I saw jQuery. Have a look at TaggedStoryDp20 [2] which I like very much. It is fun, if you have ab big screen (resulution) and if you hide the menues. I did play with TiddlyDocs left menue, but I didn't figure out how to extract it. It is too close tied to the whole project. What I found out is, that it uses a jQuery plugin named NestedSortable [4], which seems, is not maintained anymore. And this was a no-go for me. have fun! Mario PS: I have seen a writers outline program (for windows) which generates a TiddlyWiky as an output. But I didn't save the link.
