I've spent much of my evening playing with the Arc in Kobo Library, Aldiko, Google Play Reader and trying out a few others. What I'm after is something that manages the ebook library properly, and organises series/collections in chronological order.

Example, I have the Warhammer 40K series The Horus Heresy which is over 20 books. The only way any of these apps allow you to sort is by title, author or read date. None of them let you sort by series order, publish date, or any form of grouping that let's you manage the set from 1 through to 24, instead they're all jumbled in a messy heap with no sense.

I've tried dumping the files straight onto the Arc in Explorer and I've tried Calibre, spending time with metadata and sorting the series by title, only to find every app ignores this.

Is there any app out there that properly manages novel series so they display in order?
