Oh, I know what you mean. The organization is a skill to hone just as much as the actual writing is, it seems to me. I've certainly spent more time on the organization than the actual writing, which may be obvious by the end, I dunno. But personally I'm impressed by software that anticipates the idea of random scenes coming to you, because I can't tell you how exciting it was when I could start slotting random scenes into some kind of order and seeing a story emerge that I didn't pressure into existence.
I guess this whole post is a rant about Word, isn't it. Not really fair, but I found that moving away from it and into something that was more accepting of disorder really helped my process. (So far.)
