<div class="moz-cite-prefix">SWORD does not support
out-of-numerical-order v11n systems, e.g., one Bible might decide
to number its verses 1,5,2,3,4,6,7. We do not plan to have a
facility to support this. The argument has been made on
threads-past which basically says: changing the logic of
chapter/verse from integer logic to something else would allow for
this case-- indeed GenBooks support any type of data for 2nd and
3rd hierarchy level and we have some support to show GenBooks as
Bibles-- but is it worth it? No. Encode this Bible like so:<br>
<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.1<br>
bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.2<br>
(v5) bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.3<br>
(v2) bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.4<br>
(v3) bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.5<br>
(v4) bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.6<br>
bla bla bla<br>
$$$Bk.Ch.7<br>
bla bla bla<br>
<br>
Not ideal for this corner case, but not unusable.<br>

is No we don't cope for books with different orders of keys.
However these do happen. Moreover, the more general case of
content from 1 verse switched with the content of another is
more prevalent.

> In your example about the Psalms, within
the versification itself you still have the
verses in the same order, so that wouldn't be a
problem. But I think you're saying you might
have the content of verse 1 and the content of
verse 2 swapped around... Is that right? Would
the numbering be swapped around too? Presumably
not...<br>

I have seen a versification where the numbers were
swapped around, too... but I don't remember
exactly where that was. It is fairly rare.
Normally, the content would be left in place and
the verses renumbered to make a Sword module....<br>
