Hi Rolk,
I don't know how to fix your problem, as you state it, but am wondering if you're using the Series designation, and associated numbering on the "editing metadata" pop-up window?
If so, you may not need as much of the bracketed material in your title. Which would get rid of your problem altogether.
I should note that even though I do use series designators and numbering, I often add a (#) at the end of a title, where the # is the Series #. I do that so that I can easily find the numbered one I want among an author's works in the Calibre library when "sideloading" books out of Calibre into a specific reading app using iTunes.
So the title field for a book called The Book which was the 3rd in a series called The Ultimate Series would look like this:
The Book (3)
and the title sort field would look like this:
Book (3), The
which works for my purposes.
I should note that when choosing a Series designation, I try to always delete articles (like "the", "a" and "an") from the "official series titles" as those aren't useful and make the dropdown menu in the search pop-up window less helpful when I'm searching for a series name.
so the Series would read like this:
"Ultimate"
and the number would read "3"
HTH,
Lisa
