You'd think that using the format "Series name, Book X" would order everything perfectly, but apparently calibre doesn't adhere to alphabetical/numerical ordering rules, because it likes to put book 9 at the top.

Honestly, would it be such a chore to enable us to drag and drop out ebooks into whatever order we want, then keep them there?
I'm at the point where I'm considering finding another ereader program because this one is so user-unfriendly. Putting my stuff in the right order should be the work of seconds or minutes.
