You can put almost any column into the collections column field. It is a comma separated list of column names. I currently have it set to:

Code:

#kobobookshelves, #readstatus, #status, series

"#readstatus" and "#status" are custom columns I populate with the status such as "toRead", "Reading" and "Finished" along with a couple of other things. The two columns exist because I have different libraries and the names are inconsistent.

"series" is the series name, so it creates a collection for each series in the library.

"#kobobookshelves" is a custom columns I populate with whatever other collection name I want. I don't set this for all books, just the ones I want in some special collection.

You can have a complicated set like I do, or a single column such as "author" if all you want is a collection for each author.
