Hi all,

I'm new to this forum having only discovered this fantastic bit of software recently. I did a search on this but I'm not sure it has been answered. Apologies if so.

I have a number of books by the same authors which I want to group together. As an example I have a collection of Michael Connelly novels which I have exported to the reader with their various series names and respective numbers. That works perfectly.

But I would also like a way of organising all of his books in the order they were published, so I can read them in the correct order. I tried doing this by adding a tag 'Michael Connelly', sorting them in the right order and then sending them to the device. Unfortunately the collection is in alphabetical order on my reader even when I choose sort by 'Added Order' on the reader. It seems that collections created by tags do not stay in the order they are transferred?

So what I'm wondering is whether there's a way to add multiple series for one book? So that his books will belong to both their own series and also a series called 'Michael Connelly' which would be numbered according to their dates published. Eg "Angels Flight", his eighth book and the sixth in the Harry Bosch series, would be Book 6 in the "Harry Bosch" series and Book 8 in the Michael Connelly series).

Alternatively is there a way I can order the books on the reader the way I want them (I have already tried re-ordering them using the Sony Software but the order is reset every time I add a book to the device using Calibre).

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,
