From various Stevie interviews, this is the best I can figure out.

Stevie started recording with Sheryl Crow. After the initial sessions with Sheryl, Stevie recorded four songs with Dallas Austin. In one of the media blurbs it mention that one of the songs was the title track Trouble in Shangri-La. Stevie scrapped the songs because they sounded too R&B and did not fit with the songs that she had recorded with Sheryl. Stevie and Sheryl then did another recording session that produced TFFT. Stevie received Everyday from John Shanks and then asked him to finish producing the rest of the album.

As mentioned above, Bombay Sapphires is most likely a second song. Stevie said that she ended up producing it because the first version was too R&B and the John Shanks version was too rock and roll.

POTU is a good possibility as well. Stevie stated that when her assistant gave her the Shanks version she was not very hopeful because she had recorded it so many times and nobody including Sheryl knew what to do with it.

So my guess is John Shanks tried to redo the Austin tracks. Stevie mentioned that she wrote FFG as the last track since she felt the the album needed another rocker... so I doubt that is number four.

Not sure when Love Changes, Love Is or I Miss You fit in. Also, there were several articles where it was mentioned that Sheryl wanted Stevie to write a song for Sheryl's album and that is how You're not the One came about. So I never considered that to be an option, but considering the R&B vibe to it, maybe it was a leftover from that session as well.

Of course this is all based on my memory of Stevie's memories.
