Rest assured you do not need to edit any Titles within calibre.
Assuming you have populated the Series and Series_index boxes correctly in Edit Metadata there are several things you can do.
If you want to see ALL Books by Author/Series/Series_index/Title in a single list, you can tell calibre you want a "special" Collection to do exactly this.
You do this via Preferences - Plugins - Device Interface plugins - Sony - Customise plugin. One of the boxes is labelled "Comma separated list of metadata fields ..." and contains a list of those fields you want to create Collections on your Sony.
Mine says
Code:
aba:%All by Author, abt:%All by Title, tags
You might like something different but the "special" All by Author Collection is the
aba:%All by Author bit and results in a Collection called "%All by Author" on page 1 of my Collections.
You also need to go to Preferences - Sending books to device and change the Metadata management box to "Automatic management".
You might wonder why you can't just use 'Books see All' from the Home page, then tap 'by Author' in the top right corner. The reason is that this sorts your books by Author but within each Author the books are not in any useful sequence.
If you want to see Series name and/or Series_index actually displayed as part of the Title on the reader then you can use calibre's Preferences - Metadata Plugboard. If you're new to all this it may be information overload at the moment. However when you're ready to have a go you can ask more questions here. This is the
relevant part of the User Manual.
