Control execution order of notebooks

[CangyuanLi]

Is it possible to control the execution order of notebooks? For example, given

root: report
parts:
-  caption: Features
    chapters:
    -  file: feature.ipynb

where "report" is a notebook "report.ipynb", how do I ensure that "report.ipynb", the root, is always run first (instead of last)?

Hi @CangyuanLi

For now, this is not possible in Jupyter Book 2. We are working on feature improvements to address this. For Jupyter Book 1, it is not possible directly, but you can pre-execute the notebooks manually in the proper order using e.g. jupyter-cache, and then use the cache executor at build time.
