Sorting Collections
Okay, so I just purchased 3 books from FW which are part of a long series of books.
Because I can only use Calibre to connect to my reader, I had to *ahem* remove the DRM on the books. The metadata in Calibre displays everything correctly and I've go the series information setup but when I got to that particular collection on the reader they don't seem to follow any order (certainly not the series order). Have I done something wrong or is this expected behaviour? Thanks in advance. |

notsure--
Did you enter the book number in the box right below the "series" box? Calibre should order the books by the numbers supplied there. Hope this helps-- dordale |

Hi dordale.
Yes, I did enter that information. Everything in Calibre shows up fine but they aren't displayed in that order on the reader itself. Thanks for the response! |

You are using "Send to Device", not "Save to Disk" aren't you?

Yes gwynevans, I am.
So, do they need to be sorted in Calibre properly before I send them to the 505? Maybe I'll try wiping them out tonight (all 3 books) and try to sort them in Calibre before resending. Cheers. |

I have the same issue. Let us know if this works.

Nope, it doesn't work. Well, I can't get it to work anyway. :-)
I'm not sure in what order the books are displayed. |

You have to send all the books in a series in one operation. That is select all the books and then click send to device

Well would you look at that! I managed to get it to work! Thanks Kovid!
I had to delete the books, disconnect the 505, restart calibre, re-connect the 505 and send them as Kovid suggested. Thanks again! |

You should normally be able to skip the "delete/disconnect/restart/re-connect" parts, as Calibre will just overwrite the books if already present (if it was what was originally used to add them to the reader).

I've only ever had it connected to Calibre.
I tried without the "extra" steps I listed and it did not work. If I have time this weekend I may investigate further by creating dummy collections and changing the order around. Thanks! |
