Support for pages without numbers is implemented, but users don’t yet have control over the order these pages. They are shown in the order they were scanned. I need to work out a UI for doing this.
Should changes to page order be done in the journal view? Is it important to have options to set order in the review screen so you don’t have to hunt them down to change order after they are saved?
There are some options:
Scroll through a thumbnail strip of the journal, and tap on a gap between to other pages to drop your page in that spot - could be activated from the journal screen, review screen, or either.
Simple options like “put at end” or “put at beginning”
A prompt like, “put after page 7”
Option in the review screen to assign dates to pages, and have them display in date order

The first iteration of Paper Journal assumes that all pages are numbered. But lots of people have notes on pages without numbers, whether in journals or not. Journals that have page numbers don't necessarily have numbers on every page.
Support scanning and saving pages that don't have numbers. Users should be able to order pages manually.
Do we want to have a setting for each journal to prefer date ordering instead of page number ordering? Or to prefer manual ordering?
Is there demand for alternate numbering schemes? For example Roman numeral numbering for frontmatter, followed by standard Arabic numerals for other pages?
