The collection management on from calibre on the Kobo is more flexible than that. In the driver configuration, you specify one or more columns. The values from all of these columns are used for collections. Each book will appear in all these collections. As an example, I currently have (though I forget the exact names):
Code:
#kobobookshelves, series, #status
"series" is the series in calibre, so there is a collection for each series.
"#status" is a custom tag-like column I use mainly to store the reading status. Each book will have one of "toRead", "Reading" and "Finished". There are a couple of other values I use for other things.
"#kobobookshelves: is another custom tag-like column. This is manually maintained and is effectively a random list of collection names I want on the device. Not all books have a value, and some have multiples.

What about series order? Do any readers properly support series metadata?
|
As far as I can tell, the Kobo devices are the closest to full series metadata support. It displays the series name and number, but, it doesn't read this from the books (there is no standard for this in epub2). For books bought from Kobo, it is set by the download process. For sideloaded books, it can be set from calibre.
You can search for books by series name. But, there isn't a method to sort by it. That's my second top feature request. Number one is a series list.
