Hey guy´s, i kinda need help with the coding on that point.
ps. englisch is not my mothertoung, so i hope you all are able to understand me (and my problem) properly.

my question now to this code is, if the tag

"[CUSTOMCOLUMN]"

has subgroups in calibre (seperated my points [.]), is it possible to FIRST SORT the books after the "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]" (wich HAS SUBMENUES [OR SUBGROUBS] in it)
example picture:

[IMG][/IMG]



i want to sort my book on the Kobo Aura One like:

i want to open ON my cobo aura one the "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]" to see all sorts of letters (A-Z) [subgroups obviously],
when i press on the "R" letter, it should open the next subgroups like shown in the picture above (i want the subgroups like 4 subs deep & sorted my the first 4 or 5 letters) (i hope you get my point there ).

the momen i reach the last "subgroup" lets say, (like in the picture again)

"02-Die Vergessenen Welten"

and i klick on it it should show me the books in it, but not just sorted by titel name, i wat it then sorted by the actual series, (wich is series number 4 to 9 in that case)

here a Picture of the Tags ("Series" & [the obviously handwritten] "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]"



this is where this part of the code should come in

- {series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] - }{}{title} (CODE LEFT SHOULD COME AFTER SORTING THE "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]"
PS. AT THE END OF THIS POST IS A CODE, I WANT TO WORK.


The part written now, should specifie my "whish" for the sort order (if you didnt completely understand me at this momen.


BUT HOW should the part look befor? is it even possible,
to sort after a tag with subgrups, and then sort IN THIS SUBGROUPS (ONLY THE LAST SUBGROUP) after series?
i really need BIG help here :/ iam trying and and trying over and over again, but it kinda dosn´t work out so far

ps. if you are interested WHY in need (or want) it sorted like that, here is the answer.

lets say Author "A" writes fantasy-novels, and he writes them in like 2 virtual (fantasy) universes.
the first 3 bookseries (booksereis 1, 2, & 3) with about 6 books in each series, are in univers one.

He wrote his first bookseries, in this bookseries are 6 books.

a few years later he wrote a new novel-series in this univers, but in the chronological order BETWEEN his first bookseries.

later it dose looks like this (in chronological order)

first booksereis book 1
second booksereis book 1
second booksereis book 2
first booksereis book 2
first booksereis book 3
second booksereis book 3
first booksereis book 4
first booksereis book 5
second booksereis book 4
second booksereis book 5
first booksereis book 6
second booksereis book 6

so i ALREADY sorted ALL BOOKS after the universe they are playing in
(see picture 2, Serie-Tag)

and in the "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]" is every of those books, sorted (and sub-grouped [in tree-subs like seen in picture one])

like:
author.universe.[chronological order of the SERIES in two letter-digits]&seriesname.

so the tree-sort order shown above (picture one), is MY "[CUSTOMCOLUMN]" also seen in picture two, top right (or the very right tag [tha handwritten one])

what i want on Kobo Aura One is now something like that:


{#customcolumn}{#customcolumn_index:0>5s| [|] - } - {series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] - }{}{title}

but iam pretty sure iam doing something wrong here :/


really guys, iam desperate for help. i want this sort order SO BADLY!

and somehow i can´t manage it, to work like that

PLEASE ALMIGHTY INTERNET - HELP ME
