I just tried out this suggested plugboard and have the following comments.
It works, but it makes for a long title name. If you have the books in a collection sorted by author, the books will appear in inverse order.
I don't see the difference between the two suggested methods. Both have the same source template and would produce identical results. Am I missing something?
Until I discovered this, I was ordering a series by editing the metadata Published date. The first in the series would have the latest date, the second an earlier date (even a day is good enough) and so on. When the collection was sorted by author, the books would show up in series order. I know the date order doesn't seem intuitive, but it works. I got this from another thread.
This method has the advantage or producing shorter title names, but is more labor intensive. I'm in favor is less work. It seems to me that since I put a series in a collection, I don't need the collection title, just the series index.
