I was wondering is this sort of Kindle Collection possible.

Author Name (12)

When I click on Author, inside there should be the following.

Stand Alone Novel 1
Stand Alone Novel 2
Stand Alone Novel 3


then

Series Title 1

Inside that should be

Book Title 1
Book Title 2
Book Title 3


Series Title 2

Inside that should be

Book Title 1
Book Title 2
Book Title 3


Series Title 3

Inside that should be

Book Title 1
Book Title 2
Book Title 3


or even if I could have

Author Name

Then inside

Stand Alone Novel 1
Stand Alone Novel 2
Stand Alone Novel 3


Series 1 Book Title 1
Series 1 Book Title 2
Series 1 Book Title 3


Series 2 Book Title 1
Series 2 Book Title 2
Series 2 Book Title 3


Series 3 Book Title 1
Series 3 Book Title 2
Series 3 Book Title 3


Any appreciated.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but here is what i am using to get some thing similar:

Code:
if you want you can try listing author followed by series if there is one:

{series:'test($, strcat("[",field('author_sort')," - ",field('series'),"]"), strcat("[",field('author_sort'),"]"))'}
Here is the post with other options.

With one I'm using above I get:

[Author Name - Series]

or

[Just Author Name] (when there is no series info)

If you have authors that write both series and stand-alones or multiple series then you will get multiple collections (if all meet your set criteria), so in my case I have:

[Author "A"] (this houses the stand-alones)
[Author "A" - Series 1]
[Author "A" - Series 2]


I hope that makes sense and is helpful.

Oh the whole discussion started at post #1255

There are other posts discussing other things but you'll be able to follow the whole thread.
