I had the same problem with anthologies containing time skipping stories with Kelley Armstrong. I used sigil and split the anthology into the separate books putting them into their correct series order and listing the name of the anthology as a tag.
I've done this with many anthologies that had parts from various series in them. It does add more steps as far as chopping the book to pieces, reimporting, manually editing the metadata and such but I only have to deal with 1 author column and 2 series columns (1 for the main series and 1 for combining multiple series that are the same universe). |

Conclusion of Issue above: After much tinkering, I've come to the conclusion that I have to choose. I can either sort by: Code:
(('authors', 0), ('series', 0), ('title', 0)) Code:
(('authors', 0), ('#seriesinfo', 0), ('title', 0)) Quote:

I'm here because I, too, have a single eBook that is assigned to different series. I want my eBook to be assigned to multiple series and sort by series within all of them without having to duplicate the book for each.
To that end, I have a suggestion for future builds of Calibre. For my example, I'll use one of my eBooks that fits this need: The Reversal, By Michael Connelly. It is part of the Mickey Haller series and the Harry Bosch series and needs to be assigned to both. To accomplish this, it seems to me that it wouldn't be too difficult to allow multiple entries for the series column. It could be in a large box format... something like this: ___________________________ |..Series...................|..Index..| ------------------------------- |..Harry Bosch...........|...16.....| |..Mickey Haller..........|..3.......| |.............................|...........| |.............................|...........| |.............................|...........| |.............................|...........| |__________________________| Having more than one entry for the series would autmoatically 'ghost' the entry into two (or more) separate line items in the database. Clicking on any item to edit the entry would take them back to the same entry since they all refer to the same item. Also, multiple entries for this field would not increase the book count, author count, etc. It would just make multiple referrers to the same item. Since I'm not a programmer, I don't really know how hard this would be to accomplish, or if the concept is compatible with Calibre at all. But I have seen enough comments on the need for this feature to think it worthy of consideration, anyway. Last edited by Fi3ryPh03n1x; 03-31-2011 at 03:11 PM. |

By the way, I reposted this suggestion in a new thread as it seemed a bit off topic from where this thread was moving. Maybe we could move the discussion there instead. You should be able to find a link in my profile. |

I reviewed the mentioned authors site. This is a Micky Haller book, with a character overlap (Characters are usually put into tags.Harry Bosch (Fictitious Person),Micky Haller (Fictitious person). There is your link (if needed) |
