      The

      {children}

      macro is nice, showing all children. But as we create larger document structures, we now really need a way to manage the order of child pages.

      We do it now the 'old' way: to include a number as part of the page name. So page name is then something like "1. This page", and "2. That page". However that causes other problems to appear when using more then 9 child pages, as the in current version child pages are ordered using an ASCII sorting algorithme. Page "11. Another page" is listed besides "1. This page".

      May be a solution is to have an additional meta-data field on each page in which we can set a integer value, and that is used for sorting. If not filled in (e.g. hided) then fall back on current sorting.
