General ⇒ Unnumbered Section listed before unnumbered Chapter in ToC

[Tissie]

Hi All,

In the preface for my thesis, which is an unlabeled chapter (\chapter*)
I have a section like this:

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Preface} \label{chap:Preface}
\markboth{Chapter {\protect\ref{chap:Preface}}. Preface}{ }

\section*{Goals and Objectives}\label{Preface:Objectives}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect \contentsline {section}{Goals and Objectives}{{\protect \pageref{Preface:Objectives}}}{}}

bla blab bal bla

For some reason the section is placed BEFORE the Chapter in the ToC, which is ocourse wrong (see attached pdf)
If I remove the * from the code, it puts it in the correct order in ToC.

Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks!

Hi Tissie,

in this code you don't make the ToC entry for the unlabeled chapter. Btw. I would use \addcontentsline instead of \addtocontents, if there would not be other special requirements. Anyway, use the \add... command for the chapter before you start the section.

Baah, silly mistake I was staring myself completely blind on the problem.. I need to get out in the fresh air

Thanks for the help
