It would be nice, if in the file content.opf the xhtml-files in the manifest
section could be listed in the same order as in the spine section
Background: My CMS determines the order of the imported files during EPUB
import based on the manifest and not based on the spine (…). Now I have to
rearrange the files after EPUB import which is error prone.
I'm sorry but the answer is no. Your request for enhancement is way too
specific to be considered.
There is nothing in the EPUB spec which requests the manifest to be
ordered like the spine. On the other hand, the order of items in the
spine is significant:
---
3.4.10 The manifest Element
The manifest element provides an exhaustive list of the Publication
Resources that constitute the given Rendition, each represented by an
item element.
---
---
3.4.12 The spine Element
The spine element defines the default reading order of the given
Rendition of the EPUB Publication content by defining an ordered list of
manifest item references.

This may imply that the behavior of your CMS is incorrect. Please check
the EPUB spec by yourself and if you find this is really a bug, you may
want to file a bug report to the developers of your CMS.
