[sword-devel] Bible/Commentary headings

[Ben Morgan]

Maybe swapping the order of chapter and verse around may help? The code I
remember does some special handling of zeroes, but I can't check it at the
moment.
e.g.
       vkey->Verse(0);
       vkey->Chapter(0);
to
       vkey->Chapter(0);
       vkey->Verse(0);

God Bless,
Ben
