Hi,

I use Calibre to manage my library and load books onto a Sony PRS-T1. I've decided that I end up with too many Collections when I let Calibre create them based on series, so I'm looking into alternatives.

For the most part, my tags represent fairly broad genres like fantasy, science fiction, horror, etc. Some tags actually represent series that either don't follow a strict numerical order or are written by different authors, and I might be interested in separating them out into a custom tag if it would help me get what I'm hoping for.

Is there some way I can manage my library so that when I browse Collections on my T1, I can select, for example, Fantasy and when I sort by Author, books that happen to belong to a particular series will be sorted by series index? I've tried a couple things I found by searching the forum, but haven't had any luck.

And if anyone has a system they use for organizing libraries containing a large number of series, some of which don't actually have a series index for whatever reason, I'm interested in hearing suggestions--particularly if it's done with a manageable number of collections.
