[sword-devel] Versifications and verse order

[Chris Burrell]

So, my understanding from all the previous emails, 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.

So it's quite feasible to have a system that maps to the KJV as follows:
a -> a
b-> c
c-> b

where a, b, c is the normal order in each of the books. As a result, we
can't simply iterate through them sequentially downwards.

(yes, the example is simplified as keys can map to multiple other keys,
etc.)
