How to browse the document tree in order?

[Peter Burdine]

Is there a "simple" example of browsing the document tree in the order that the files appear in the output document?  I wrote an extension that collects data for pages with a specific role and I need to be able to present that data in the order that items appear in the document.  Since Sphinx processes all the files, then assembles them, I can't go by the list that is created by the extension.

Hi,

AFAIK there are no good examples to trace the document tree.

Please refer sphinx.environment:BuildEnvironment.assign_section_numbers(). The method traces whole of documents and obtain sections in the order you said.

Thanks,

Thank you.  At least that is a starting point.  That probably gets me 50% the way there.
