The usual way this is handled is to change the title of the book to include the series name and sequence number. A very simple thing to do with a powerful library management tool like calibre. But virtually impossible if you insist on only using an antiquated file system.

I don't say this very often, but based on the posts you have made, I think you should take the Glo back. It is obviously not going to work for you. But, I am curious about why you bought it. The things you think of as defects are well known as not part of the function of any of the Kobo ereaders.
