When you want to configure how the markdown views on the sidebar you'll want to use the list.json or you're selected json in "list-json-location": "/md/list.json".
Once you opened your list
it will read in order of
json{ "List": [ "Introduction.md", // 1 "Setup.md", // 2 "How to Config.md", // 3 "Writing Markdown.md", // 4 "Configure the Markdown.md" // 5 ] }
They will render like this
in the exact order you put them in your list json.
The order in the folder of your markdown files do not matter at all.
That is really all you need to know about the config of the markdown's as it is that simple.
