SWORD does not support out-of-numerical-order v11n systems, e.g., one
Bible might decide to number its verses 1,5,2,3,4,6,7. We do not plan
to have a facility to support this. The argument has been made on
threads-past which basically says: changing the logic of chapter/verse
from integer logic to something else would allow for this case-- indeed
GenBooks support any type of data for 2nd and 3rd hierarchy level and we
have some support to show GenBooks as Bibles-- but is it worth it? No.
Encode this Bible like so:
$$$Bk.Ch.1
bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.2
(v5) bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.3
(v2) bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.4
(v3) bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.5
(v4) bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.6
bla bla bla
$$$Bk.Ch.7
bla bla bla
Not ideal for this corner case, but not unusable.

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.)

I have seen a versification where the numbers were swapped

is fairly rare. Normally, the content would be left in place
and the verses renumbered to make a Sword module....
