Follow article order

例解学習国語 offers the neighbouring articles すずめのなみだ and すすめ beside 雀.

The previous and next article controls follow dictionary order, not the order of a resource file.

Follow browsing order

Use entry_order to browse articles in the dictionary's intended sequence. A compound belongs to its parent article's page.

order = dictionary.entry_order
first_page = order[0]
xml = dictionary.entry_xml(first_page)

next_page = order.next(first_page)
if next_page is not None:
    xml = dictionary.entry_xml(next_page)

const auto& order = dictionary->entryOrder();
auto firstPage = order.pageAt(0).value();
auto xml = dictionary->entryUtf8ById(firstPage).value();

auto nextPage = order.next(firstPage).value();
if (nextPage)
    xml = dictionary->entryUtf8ById(*nextPage).value();

previous() and next() stop at the ends without wrapping. An unknown page ID is an error. Search results keep their own sequence, including compound targets. Order lookup reads no article XML.

Without an order file, the native fallback is page IDs 1 through the article count. It assumes consecutive IDs. The writer always generates an order file, including for dictionaries with gaps in their page IDs.
