Generated TOC entries appear in wrong chapter

[Mary Saifuku]

Thanks, Jeremy, for shedding light on this. In my files, the chapter title
is in a text frame on the first page, not on the First master page. 

Per Tori's suggestion, I modified my chapter template by selecting the text
frame with the title, right-clicking, and choosing Send to Back. This solves
the problem. 

Is there an advantage to putting the text frame on the First master page and
connecting the frame with the title to the body text frame?

Yes.  On the first page of your chapters, the chapter title is
in a text frame that is not connected to the body text frame on
its page.  So the body text, containing the subhead, is processed 
before the title.  The solution is to connect the text frame with 
the title to the body text frame on your First master page.

HTH!
