[sword-devel] Versifications and verse order

[Chris Little]

Book ordering differences are a trivial case, already handled by 
versification system definitions. E.g. the German and Luther 
versification systems differ, in the NT, only in book order. If you 
query Heb-Rev in German, you'll get the contents of 9 books. In Luther, 
you would get only 4 books.

If you care about out-of-order verses, put some time into implementing 
GenBook Bibles.
