I think there needs to be a more standardized naming system for different chapters of the same story, so that they will show up in the right order. I propose that only arabic numbers should be used, rather than spelling out the number, or using roman numerals.

Also, single-digit chapter numbers could have an extra space appended before it. This way, it will sort correctly if the story runs into double-digit chapters. e.g.:

Anguished E, The (Chapter 1)

Anguished E, The (Chapter 2)

...

Anguished E, The (Chapter 10)
