Describe the feature you'd like

It would be very useful to enable chapter-wise sorting of books. Currently, this is only possible on book level. Which works for small books, but gets really cumbersome if the number of pages exceeds a certain limit (i.e. if the page list is longer than your vertikal screen size).

For example, we' re using bookstack to record minutes of meetings, both internally and externally. For that, we're using an iso-date prefixed page title and we prefer to have the most recent MoM on top of the stack. Thus, every time we add a new MoM page we have to manually move the page to the top. Which is really annoying :D

I mean, we're really happy with the automatic sorting functions on the book level, however, they sort everything, which would require us to prefix our chapters with ugly 00,01,02,10... - I mean, yes real books have chapter numbers, but, c'mon :D
