Code:
Universe.SeriesA [1]
Universe.SeriesB [2]
Universe.SeriesA [3]
Universe.SeriesB [4]
I expected to be able to sort by series so that it came out like the above. Instead, it does:
Code:
Universe.SeriesA [1]
Universe.SeriesA [3]
Universe.SeriesB [2]
Universe.SeriesB [4]
Is there any way to use just the series column to get the overall reading order sort correct and to also easily keep track of the separate series? I know I can create another column, but since only about 2% of books in my library need this, I'm trying to avoid that. |
I personally use the numbers before the decimal as the universe reading order and after the decimal as the series order but that won't help you with the sorting in calibre but at least you can know which book to read next without adding an extra column.
Universe.SeriesA [1.1]
Universe.SeriesB [2.1]
Universe.SeriesB [3.2]
Universe.SeriesA [4.2]
Universe.SeriesB [5.3]
Universe.SeriesB [6.4]
