An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

I will keep tonight's entry brief. I have seen some buzz in the other LOST blogs about the placement of the book An occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in the episode, The Long Con. There is a lot of speculation as to the significance of this reference. I am surprised, however, that nobody seems to notice one key point: the context in which the book is presented. Sawyer busts in on Locke who is in the bunker, shaking the book as if to see if there are any surprises in it (like a bookmark). Sawyer asks Locke what he is doing. Locke simply replies, "Alphabetizing".
An occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge would be alphabetized under "O", the FIFTEENTH letter of the alphabet, as in 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
