If you want to reorder the chapters without changing the contents and without reposting, the admins may be able to do that for you. Just send Lazeez an email describing what you want, and he will let you know if it is doable.

You can do as Rep said, or you can create one file of all of the new chapters in order and put (spaces added to code to ensure it doesn't run):

{ P } Chapter XX

At the start of each chapter. That way the SoL Wizard will automatically make the chapter breaks at that point and post all of the current chapters in one go, but as different chapters.

Either way you do it you need to include an end note and blog entry to let the readers know what you've done so they can re-read the new layout from the start.

The other option is going old school (if you don't want to create a super-massive file with every single chapter in it) is to repost chapter 1 - …, in groups of 20. That'll take time to post, however, but it requires less monkeying around with files. But, if you're combining two stories into one, then you'll undoubtedly need to eliminate one of them, so warn your readers well ahead of time, so they'll know it's coming, add a blog entry, in case they miss it anyway, before you delete one.

The best bet is, keep both going for a short time, redirecting readers to the other story so they'll all be moved over if they're regularly following the chapters each post.
