_quarto.yml | project: render: is ignored

[fenke]

Description

I use a .yml for a 'book' project but need to specify the render order. For this the render: section under project: lists the documents in the order I want them rendered, only for quarto render to completely ignore this and render in the order under book: / chapters:

What gives? How do I get Quarto to render in the order I specify in the render: section?

What version of Quarto are you using?

What's the context and the issue you are facing in the current state?

[mcanouil]

It seems for some reasons you want to render the documents in a different order than the one from the book.
If so
