If the collection was created via a Series called Baantjer the books in that collection would be in series order. If the collection was created via a tag called Baantjer the books in that collection would be in alphabetical order.

The collection must be created via a tag and not series or it would be in series order. I use the following setup to ensure my kids that their books are in order I use the custom columns and plugboard described under General Metadata in this sticky post (see attached).

I also created a column as outlined by jackie_w and set the sony_collection_sorting_rules tweak accordingly. Also read this thread by jackie_w for good "how to" instructions. For all of Jackie_w's instruction don't forget to have metadata management set to automatic.

I also set the Specify renaming rules for Sony collections to:

Code:
# Specify renaming rules for SONY collections

sony_collection_name_template = '{value} {category:|(|)}'
sony_collection_renaming_rules = {'series': 'Series'}
This adds (Series) after collections created by series and leaves collections created by tags plain.

Good Luck.
