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.

This is an interesting idea. I have to think about it.

You are right. 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.
The stories are manually sorted.

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!

PS: I have seen a writers outline program (for windows) which
generates a TiddlyWiky as an output. But I didn't save the link.
