How to sort series in order?
calbire doesn't seem send the series number (e.g. Foundation trilogy [1]) or PRS-T1 ignores/doesn't use it. I guess the only way to get proper series order is renaming the titles to "Foundation trilogy #1: Foundation"?

The only way I've found so far is the "manual" approach.
Copy the book to the T1 and then on the T1 create a new collection for the series. e.g. using your example call it "Foundation Trilogy" or as I'd do it "Asimov, Isaac: The Foundation Trilogy". Then go into the new collection and then add the books one at a time starting with the first book. With the sort for the collection set to being ordered by when added, you will actually have them in the correct order. It can be a bit long-winded, but it does work. |

Though I see know that 3 books added later on in a collection still are in correct order on the device and not at the end. So inside a collection at least sorting "added order" is actually series order? Last edited by Lanix; 02-20-2012 at 09:59 AM. |

@jackie_w
I was visiting a friend who just got a new reader (PRS-T1) and he asked me how to do collections. He already had calibre so I showed him the basics. Then I told him about your plugboard with the series at the end of author. He said, I don't think I would like that. I said easy to change back if you don't and proceeded to type it in. He was extremely happy with the result and bellowed Yes! A few times. Helen |

After I finish adding the metadata on Calibre, I go into the book title and add abbreviated series info, e.g. David Weber's first Honor Harrington book "On Basilisk Station" would be shown as: On Basilisk Station (HH01). I then make sure the title sort box has the same info.
I don't bother with setting up separate collections of series on my Sony reader. |

@polarpenguin
Too true. BTW I cut and pasted your series thing for Sony sort order (from another thread) to friends calibre and it worked as well. Thanks Helen |

^^Glad my post (from the other thread) was of use. However, I stole that from someone else, around here. So can't take the credit. Not quite got my head around regex yet, am working on it.
Tweaking Calibre is quite addictive, it really cuts into my reading time |
