I'm not sure what to put in the plugboard to cause all books to have a 2 digit series number, i.e. 01, 02, 11. Any suggestions?

I've also discovered that when creating collections by authors and there are two collections in the folder, the books will be listed like this:

which sucks.

Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps automatically prefix the books with an abbreviate of the series name, like VC for Vampire Chronicles. I don't want the full series name as that would make the title too long. I think I'm asking for two much on that one.
Code:
{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}
Is what I use for save to disk. the 2s pads the leading zero when needed for 2 places

Sorry, there is no abbreviated coding. You could make a custom column for Trimmed-series names and populate it by hand ( use the Tag browser to select the series and Bulk Metadata to set your custom col values)
