Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any info on it.

(using the 'Xanth' series as an example) I use Calibre built in feature to add the number of books in a series by formatting the series name as:

37 Xanth [21]

Which shows in Calibre as:

Book 21 of 37 Xanth

Which is great, however, when I go to sort the series to tidy things up, I find it sorts by the 37... i.e. if I add more 'Xanth' books without indicating that it's book 37 it sorts as:

37 Xanth [21]
...
...
Xanth [12]
Xanth [33]

Note - the '...' indicates there may be many more books in the series sort.

This means if I sort by series I don't realise that I have more books, that may be under the 'number of books' numeric sort. This is a particular problem when there are multiple authors for a particular series. I hope that makes sense!

Is there a way I can tweak Calibre so that it recognises the leading numbers as the number of books in a series, and sorts the Series column ignoring them?
