Yeah, I think it’s actually not too bad to use Zettelkasten addresses in a fixed-page-location notebook. You can’t put the addresses in proper order, but, I’ve mentioned that I don’t sort my cards until I have a large back-log of unsorted anyway.
As I said, the creation-time ordering is pretty useful anyway, because it correlates to what you’re most likely to want to look at, whereas the proper sorting does not.
Also, looking up addresses in creation-time ordering is usually not too bad: you can still rely on 2a to be later than 2, 2b to be later than 2a, etc. You just don’t know for sure whether 3a will be on a later page than 2a.
