I'm using Calibre and want to rename books I downloaded form Project Gutenberg.

I downloaded all 14 Wizard of Oz books. Using a page in Wikipedia, I was able to determine the order of the books. In Calibre, I edited the metadata and renamed the title and title sort to "Book 1 -title of Oz book, Book 2, title of Oz book, etc." So, in Calibre, simply by looking, I know that "Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz" is the fourth book because I renamed it "Book 4 Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz."

However, when I send these books via Calibre to my Kindle, some of the titles are not translating. For instance, "Book 1 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" still reads "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." No change. So now I have some titles which are numbered and other titles that are simply the original title.

It's confusing because I want to look at the Kindle directory and know by the title which book is the first second, third, etc.

Does anyone know what else I can do to correct this?

(I'm using Calibre 0.9.15 and a Kindle Keyboard)
