Not quite as tidy as before, however I now can sort on title and have the books in numerical order. Thank you very much!!
Which means you are using a different metadata plugboard. You have stated the new one is:
Code:
{series} {series_index:0>2s} - {Title}
My guess is that the old one was:
Code:
{series_index:0>2s} - {Title}
The difference is that the old one didn't put the series name in, just the number. That will work OK if you have a collection for each series and don't use the main library list.

But, I would recommend using one of the following:
Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
The difference here is that if the book does not have series information, nothing will be added to the start of the title. With your current plugboard, the title of a book that is not part of a series will always start with " - ".
