That *might* break CM's internal consistency checks during the import, if memory serves. (ixtab could probably answer that with much more certainty than me  ). |
There aren't really many consistency checks done
Does manually sorting the books into collections work, or does that also fail (occasionally, often, always)?
I can only recall having seen 2 different scenarios - either the books contain no CDE Key, or the entire collections DB is effed up. In the first case, you have to make sure that the books have valid IDs, in the second case, the easiest solution is to (physically) delete the entire database and start from scratch. Search for the relevant keywords in this thread, we have been troubleshooting such issues a few times.
