Now, for all intents and purposes this works, except for one small caviat... When sorting a series of decimals, it sorts the whole number last. What I mean by this is this:
Series_Name 01 - Title
Series_Name 02.1 - Title
Series_Name 02.2 - Title
Series_Name 02 - Title
Series_Name 03 - Title
Now this isn't a huge issue, at least they a grouped together, and not 10 books apart, but it is a minor annoyance. I thought I would give Post #7's solution a try and unfortunately, it still sorts in the same manor.
Any advice? |
This is on the device?
ASCII sort rules usually prevail
The shorter string version ( without the .# )should be first
I know (the hard way
) the Kindle treats a - before a number as a minus, so you get a descending order -5, -4,-3,-2..
