I've noticed that as books are added to the library, in its internal file structure, Calibre appends an incrementing number enclosed in parentheses to them in the order they were added. As time goes by and I remove books and add new ones, I am left with gaps between numbers which Calibre apparently does not fill in with new books, similar to the way a hard drive becomes fragmented over time. I'm sure this doesn't actually have any effect on Calibre's performance, but it does hurt my OCD. Is there any easy way to force Calibre to resort/renumber your books so as to fill in these gaps?
