It would be nice to be able to enter more than one Series (name & number) for a book. Some authors, such as Anne McCaffrey make 'spin-off' series from existing series, so a given book may actually be of an existing series as well as the first book in a new series. I would think that 2 or 3 entries would be enough. If the multiple series could appear vertically in the same, existing 'Series' column rather than in new column(s) that would be great too.
As it is now it is not possible to properly catalog such multi-series books.
Thanks.

:Welcome: to MR and the Calibre section.
What you ask for is technically not feasible
How do you sort the same book on 2 differences of the same item?
It is a 'Either or' case.
Look at enabling the Hierarchical option.
then your series can be Pern.Harperhall, Pern.Renegades, Pern.Dragon Riders
Then maintain the base series as the numbering (this should still keep the books in reading order, just not exact sub series numbering). Unfortunately this will be a manual operation as the auto-number works only on the current series name (another issue preventing Auto-numbering on the base is how to make this apply only to selected 'Base' series
)
