My non-novel solution - number every other page, and keep a few pages up in the front as an index. Topic on the left, and a list of page numbers on the right. Requires some effort to maintain, but it seems to work pretty well for me. Familiarity with the index pages counters the need for any sorting.

Rather than leaving pages blank up front (a guestimate), I fill my index up from the back. Literally the last page is the first page of the index and I work towards the front from there. No risk of running out of room in the index, or finding that I didn't need 5 pages when 2 would have done.
