Describe the feature you'd like

I've notived that the sorting of a book always show everything, including chapters and pages of this chapters.
I have a chapter with over 50 pages and below of this another 2 chaphters.
If I want to move a page from the big chapter to the bottom most chapter I have to aim for the small spot on the bottom of page to activate the scrolling.
Or if I want to move a page from the top to a chapter on the bottom or simply move a small chapter over the chapter with the many pages.
In this case collapsible chapters would be very nice because I can hide the pages which I won't need.
