Are my chapters displaying out of order?

[JoshuaWaukee]

Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to make this request...

So yesterday (Fri Nov 14th) I posted my story.
A couple of hours later, I get a message from someone who alerted me that my chapters were appearing in reverse order..
To me, when I look at the table of contents they appeared fine.
For example it showed
chapter 1
chapter 2
chapter 3
etc.
When I checked the chapters, I did notice that say if I were in chapter 2 and hit "next", it would take me to chapter 1 instead of chapter 3.

So, I did the only thing I knew to do, I went into my dashboard and changed the order there, so that it is in descending order, i.e., on my dashboard it now shows as...
chapter 3
chapter 2
chapter 1

This was the original, default order they displayed in. I had changed it to ascending order.
Now, the behavior is as expected. when I am in chapter 2 and hit "next" it takes me to chapter 3.

Only thing is, I still don't know what the readers are seeing. Can someone check this out to make sure my chapters are appearing in the right order and when you hit next it goes to the correct next chapter.
Please reply once you have checked, so others know they don't have to check once it's been confirmed.

Seems to be in the correct order.

They are in the correct order.
If you want to flip the for yourself, click this icon just above the story list.

To quote my "canned response" list, this is why the order is extremely important to you as an author.

You appear to have sorted your story's chapters to the reverse order of what of the site standard. This causes two major issues:

1. Every time you sort chapters, it forcibly removes your story from the main page latest update section. This is an anti-cheat feature to prevent authors from unfairly occupying the main page.

2. It completely breaks the progress tracking function of the reading list, because now chapter 1 is considered the end of the story by the site.

I've run into quite a few well-known authors currently having this trouble, and it makes so much sense. Thank you for bringing this up. I completely forget the "sort" feature,

The chapter display system is counter-intuitive. The table of contents defaults to display based on most-recent. The author can change it to display the first chapter first, but be sure the "next" and "previous" chapter in reading mode work as intended. I manually reordered them once and discovered that chaos.

Most recent on top is the default for most webnovel sites that I have seen.
