I would like to have the Table of Contents of the book I am editing showing first the pages of the chapters and then the chapter titles. Something like this book:
I am working with XeTeX (through LyX) and my document class is Memoir.

Do you want this behaviour just for chapter entries or for all sectional units in the ToC? Which document class are you using?– Gonzalo MedinaCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 20:59

Hello. My ToC is made up of Parts and Chapters, there are no other sections in the book. The document class is Memoir.– Cato PhilosophusCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 21:01

So, just to be sure, this is to apply to parts and chapter entries, or just to chapter entries?– Gonzalo MedinaCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 21:08

Parts and chapters, you are right.– Cato PhilosophusCommented Jul 26, 2013 at 21:18

Here's one possibility (chapter number for unnumbered chpaters have been included before the corresponding titles, as has been requested in a comment):
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\renewcommand\partnumberline[1]{}
\renewcommand\chapternumberline[1]{#1~\raisebox{.2ex}{\scalebox{0.75}{\textbullet}~}}
\renewcommand\cftpartpagefont{\huge\bfseries}
\renewcommand\cftpartfont{\LARGE\bfseries}
\renewcommand\cftchapterpagefont{\normalfont\large\itshape}
\renewcommand\cftchapterfont{\normalfont}
\newlength\ToCindent
\setlength\ToCindent{4em}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\l@part}[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >-2\relax
\cftpartbreak
\begingroup
{\leftskip0pt\noindent
\interlinepenalty\@M
\leavevmode
\parbox[t]{\ToCindent}{\makebox[2em][r]{\cftpartpagefont #2}\hfill}%
\parbox[t]{\dimexpr\textwidth-\ToCindent\relax}{\cftpartfont #1}%
}
\par\nobreak
\global\@nobreaktrue
\everypar{\global\@nobreakfalse\everypar{}}%
\endgroup
\fi}
\newcommand*{\l@mychap}[3]{%
\def\@chapapp{#3}
\vskip2ex%
\par%
\noindent\parbox[t]{\ToCindent}{\makebox[2em][r]{\cftchapterpagefont#2}\hfill}%
\parbox[t]{\dimexpr\textwidth-\ToCindent\relax}{\cftchapterfont#1}\par%
}
\renewcommand*{\l@chapter}[2]{%
\l@mychap{#1}{#2}{\chaptername}%
}
\renewcommand*{\l@appendix}[2]{%
\l@mychap{#1}{#2}{\appendixname}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents*
\part{A test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{A test unnumbered chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\part{Another test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Another test unnumbered chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\part{Yet another test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\end{document}
I add here another option showing the page number and chapter number separated by a bullet, as was originally required in the comment; I prefer the previous solution since this one might result in confusion:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\renewcommand\partnumberline[1]{}
\renewcommand\chapternumberline[1]{\makebox[0pt][l]{%
\llap{\raisebox{.2ex}{\scalebox{0.75}{\textbullet}}\,#1\hspace{1.2em}}}}
\renewcommand\cftpartpagefont{\huge\bfseries}
\renewcommand\cftpartfont{\LARGE\bfseries}
\renewcommand\cftchapterpagefont{\normalfont}
\renewcommand\cftchapterfont{\normalfont}
\newlength\ToCindent
\setlength\ToCindent{4.5em}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\l@part}[2]{%
\ifnum \c@tocdepth >-2\relax
\cftpartbreak
\begingroup
{\leftskip0pt\noindent
\interlinepenalty\@M
\leavevmode
\parbox[t]{\ToCindent}{\makebox[2em][r]{\cftpartpagefont #2}\hfill}%
\parbox[t]{\dimexpr\textwidth-\ToCindent\relax}{\cftpartfont #1}%
}
\par\nobreak
\global\@nobreaktrue
\everypar{\global\@nobreakfalse\everypar{}}%
\endgroup
\fi}
\newcommand*{\l@mychap}[3]{%
\def\@chapapp{#3}
\vskip2ex%
\par%
\noindent\parbox[t]{\ToCindent}{\makebox[2em][r]{\cftchapterpagefont#2}\hfill}%
\parbox[t]{\dimexpr\textwidth-\ToCindent\relax}{\cftchapterfont#1}\par%
}
\renewcommand*{\l@chapter}[2]{%
\l@mychap{#1}{#2}{\chaptername}%
}
\renewcommand*{\l@appendix}[2]{%
\l@mychap{#1}{#2}{\appendixname}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents*
\part{A test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{A test unnumbered chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\part{Another test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Another test unnumbered chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\part{Yet another test part}
\chapter{Test chapter with a really long title spanning several lines just for the example}
\chapter{Another test chapter}
\chapter{Another test chapter with an interesting title}
\end{document}
The \ToCindent length controls the separation between page numbers and titles.

Thank you for the solution! Would be possible to add the chapter number before the chapter title for numbered chapters? Maybe something like a middot (·) might be useful to separate pages from chapter number. Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 23:45

@CatoPhilosophus please see my updated answer. I included the chapter numbers as part of the entry (and changed the font for chapter page numbers), as I think this is better to avoid confusions with the page numbers. Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 23:58

@CatoPhilosophus I added another option to my answer showing the layout you suggested in your comment; I personally find the first option less confusing. Commented Jul 27, 2013 at 1:28

Nice solution! I prefer the first solution as well. I wonder if this can be made to work with other classes (like Koma-Script).– user9424Commented Jul 27, 2013 at 12:08
