First of all, sorry for my bad english,and I am dislectic,and had only one year english lessons, it is hard to find answers and keywords.
I have a Sony 650 (2 by the way) and I have a large serie of books called Baantjer.
It's a detective.
I have edited the metadata, gives the book the label Baantjer, give the book the seriename baantjer and I give all the books the right number so book one has the Author name Baantjer, The title, The label Name Baantjer,And the serie name Baantjer, with the number of the book.
When,pressed on Baantjer,Serie, in Calibre the books are displayed nicely in the order of the serie, so book number one is the first in the row.
So I send book 1 to 60 to the reader.
But when I open the books in the Sony 650 ( set with the option show book by adding ) it has a collection Baantjer, but the books are alphabetically ordered.
When I send the books one by one with calibre, starting with number one, number two and so on, the books are exactly in that order placed in the reader.
So book that I added the first is number one, the book I added the second is number 2.
But when I send the whole batch in one time, no matter what I try, the collection name is ok, but the sequence of the books are not.
So Calibre doesn't send the book I numbered 1 first, then the book with number 2 as second.
It just send them alphabetically ordered and the collection is a mess.
How can I manage Calibre so that it stores book 1 as first on the reader, book number 2 as second...
I tried the options, import/export,send book to device.
I put the first option on manual.
At the saving options line I tried:
{author_sort}/{title} - {authors} - {series} - {series_index} and
{series} - {series_index} - {author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
But with no result.
Who can help me with this.
I want calibre to send the book collection in the order I have numbered them to my sony device.
So that book one is actually book one.
Try to make it more clear:
On the computer it nicely shows
Title of the book, Author, Label, Serie,Number
For example:
murder,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,1
killer,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,2
passion,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,3
When send one by one, they appear exactly in that sequence in the book.
When I send them all together,the result in the reader is:
killer,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,2
murder,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,1
passion,Baantjer,Baantjer,Baantjer,3
Calibre send it alphabetically, not following the book numbers described in the metadata serie that I give the right number.
