[Tex/LaTex] Section numbering changes in TOC, but not in body – specific to IEEEtran

ieeetransectioningtable of contents

I'm having a strange issue with the IEEEtran package. I'm using \renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}} and so on to change the section, subsection, and subsubsection numbering. As mentioned in the title, I see the changes in the TOC, but not in the body of the document. MWE is below:

\documentclass[]{IEEEtran}

\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\arabic{subsubsection}}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{Introduction}
Words, words, all words

\section{Big section}

\subsection{Section Three}

\subsubsection{SubSection Three}~\\ texty text

\subsubsection{title}~\\ texty text

\end{document}

To change the numbering of the main text headings (as opposed to those used in the ToC), you have to redefine \thesectiondis, \thesubsectiondis, and \thesubsubsectiondis.

\documentclass[]{IEEEtran}

\renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\thesubsection.\arabic{subsubsection}}

\renewcommand\thesectiondis{\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsectiondis{\thesectiondis.\arabic{subsection}}
\renewcommand\thesubsubsectiondis{\thesubsectiondis.\arabic{subsubsection}}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{Introduction}
Words, words, all words

\section{Big section}

\subsection{Section Three}

\subsubsection{SubSection Three}~\\ texty text

\subsubsection{title}~\\ texty text

\end{document}

The titlesec package can be used here. The modifications to the .sty file:

\ProvidesPackage{aglc}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}

\RequirePackage{parskip}
\RequirePackage{chngcntr}
\RequirePackage{titlesec}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{5}

\counterwithin*{subsection}{section}
\counterwithin*{paragraph}{subsection}
\counterwithin*{subparagraph}{paragraph}

% AGLC Heading 1
% I Section
\renewcommand*\thesection{\Roman{section}}                                      

\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@ }%
    {-3.5ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
    {2.3ex \@plus  .2ex}{\normalfont \centering \large \sc }}


% AGLC Heading 2
% A SubSection
\renewcommand*\thesubsection{\Alph{subsection}}  

\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection {subsection}{2}{\z@ }%
    {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
    {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \centering \large \emph }}

% AGLC Heading 3
% 1 SubSubSection
\renewcommand*\thesubsubsection{\arabic{subsubsection}}

\renewcommand\subsubsection{\@startsection {subsubsection}{3}{\z@ }%
    {-3.25ex \@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}%
    {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}{\normalfont \emph }}

% AGLC Heading 4
% (a) Paragraph
\renewcommand*\theparagraph{(\alph{paragraph})}

\titleformat{\paragraph}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\em}
  {\renewcommand*\theparagraph{%
      \arabic{subsubsection}(\alph{paragraph})}\theparagraph}
  {1em}{}

\titlespacing*{\paragraph}
  {0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex \@plus .2ex}

% AGLC Heading 5
% (i) SubParagraph
\renewcommand*\thesubparagraph{(\roman{subparagraph})}

\titleformat{\subparagraph}
  {\normalfont\normalsize\em}
  {\renewcommand*\thesubparagraph{%
      \arabic{subsubsection}\theparagraph(\roman{subparagraph})}\thesubparagraph}  
  {1em}{}

\titlespacing*{\subparagraph}
  {0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex \@plus .2ex}

\newcommand{\case}[1]{\emph{#1}}
\newcommand{\caseref}[1]{[\emph{#1}]}

\newcommand{\statute}[2][Qld]{\emph{#2} (#1)}

\newcommand{\latin}[1]{\emph{#1}}

\endinput

Since titlesec was used to change the formatting for \paragraph and \subparagraph, it could also be used for the other sectional units.

Here's a simple test document using the aglc.sty file to show the desired changes in action:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{aglc}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate text for the example

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\section{Test section}
\subsection{Test subsection}
\subsubsection{Test subsubsection}
\paragraph{Test paragraph}
\lipsum[2]
\subparagraph{Test subparagraph}
\lipsum[2]

\end{document}

And the resulting document:

Here's a solution that uses the titletoc package; the important part of the code is

% chapter formatting in toc
\titlecontents{chapter}
[0.0cm]             % left margin
{}                  % above code
{%                  % numbered format
{\llap{\thecontentspage\hspace{.5cm}}\thecontentslabel~}%
}%
{}         % unnumbered format
{}         % filler-page-format, e.g dots

Here's a complete MWE to play with.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{titlesec}

{\llap{\thecontentspage\hspace{.5cm}}\thecontentslabel~}%
}%
{}         % unnumbered format
{}         % filler-page-format, e.g dots

\begin{document}
