All good but why narrative / Scene / narrative / summary put it at the end of the hansard?

Mixing speeches using startTime and narrative elements does not work properly, as narrative can't be given timestamps and we don't currently deal with this well; this would be fixed by #320.
Using docDate instead of startTime would fix this issue, but would then cause your other issue #494.
I can only suggest that you do one of the following:

  • Only give a startTime to the first speech in your XML, and make sure the first item is a speech, not narrative. Then it should hopefully display all of the items in the right order;
  • Use speech elements instead of narrative elements, with no speaker;
  • Don't have shared sections in each XML (e.g. year/month), do use docDate, and write your own date-based views;
  • Don't use either docDate or startTime;
  • Customise the importer to put docDate on the right level of section.

These suggestions overlap with those I gave in #491, because it is the same sort of issue. The first or second options are probably easiest for you.
