I have series with correct numbering, but when I transfer the book in Calibre to my device it does not show, not even when I check the book details (long tap on cover). Same when I just copy a file from my calibre db manually to the device.
How do you people make it work so that you can see the correct order of books from a series when you list the books on your Aura HD?
PS I do not enter the sequence number in the booktitle, just in the series information.

I use davidfor's Kobo Utilities to send the series information. You need to have the book in the database on your Kobo before the series information can be added to the database. So my process is to have Calibre send the ebooks, disconnect and let the Kobo process them, reconnect and use Kobo Utilities to update the metadata for those ebooks, disconnect and the information should be there.You can also do a manual or automatic update of the metadata when you reconnect your Kobo but I find Kobo Utilities to be a better fit to my workflow.
As for the correct order, I used to add a series abbreviation and number to the book title when sending it to my Kobo. I haven't bothered with that since I have few series that are long enough that I need more than a couple of pages to list the series after a search and searching is how I currently look for books.
