Yes I also thought about something like that. Was torn between either indicating that the book is not in a series, just like you're suggesting, or putting some valuable information behind it.
Atm, my plug is:
Code:
{author_sort:||,}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>3s}
And I think I'll make it
Code:
{author_sort:||,}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>3s}{tags:uppercase()| |}
Instead of:
Sebastian Junger
it would then show
Junger, Sebastian, CONTEMPORARY, CREATIVE NONFICTION
Or, if the book was in a series:
Junger, Sebastian, - Andrea Gail 001 CONTEMPORARY, CREATIVE NONFICTION
Sorting should then be either:
author_sort, tags
or:
author_sort, series, series_index, tags
depending on the book being in a series or not. I'd love to see my genre info there or at least, if the series title is overly long, the first part of the genre(s)
For everybody who would like to try it out but would like to see something less bulky in the author line: {languages} or {pubdate} would be short and still helpful for some.
"noseries" would be nice to have if one is unsure whether the series thing is really working or not. To see if there would still be books showing neither series information nor "noseries"...
All that given that I'm thinking right here hehe, will test it when I have the time.
