Sorting table items?

Hello.

I created a script, which traverses the table structure of a website to create a navigation bar. It uses the #title definition in an index wptext in each subtable for the text of each link.

I can't figure out, how to arrange the items.

Let's say my table looks like this (a "/" refers to a subtable): 

  > #glossary/
  > #prefs/
  > #images/
  > index
  > news/
  > projects/
  > students/
My Script would do a Navbar like this (according to the order of the objects in my table): 
   | News | Projects | Students |
The table items will be sorted alphbetically. Re-arrangements them will not be saved. So I can't get this Navbar: 
   | News | Students | Projects |
I saw a possibility to begin a objectname with a 4 digit number followed by a TAB. Trying this, I create illegal filenames like "0001\tnews.html".

Any one can come up with a solution?

Oliver
