Riva3000 · 09-19-2013, 03:08 PM

I am looking for something like Enum type in most programming languages.

Right now there is 'fixed set of values' column type, but it is sorted alphabeticaly based on the text values.

What am I aiming for:
You may have a set of values like: Great, Good, Bad, Worst
Though with 'fixed set of values' column type, that is afaik always sorted alphabeticaly, that will be sorted: Bad, Good, Great, Worst
Obviously not right.

Any way to make this work in Calibre ?
Thanks
