Sort books in series

whoadammit · 02-16-2012, 11:42 AM

I'm new to calibre and trying to figure out how to get calibre to sort/list books in a series. I have used metadata and given each book it's number in the series manually.In the main window (showing all your books) they are out of sequence with no way of telling what their number is unless you click on the title and read the description in the left sidebar...Is there a way for them to show up in library, in reading order? I don't have the number in the book title, I just use the book number in metadata.

If you click on the Series column header then books are sorted in series order
