Using Caliber with the latest IOS

Hi,

I used to happily use Calibre and sync to itunes.

Now of course I can no longer do this.

My current workaround is to sync to a OneDrive folder, and from there, open in iBooks.

This is bit clunky but usable.

The only real problem is being able to view my books in iBooks by category, where category is the series. I have managed to work out that ibooks uses the tags, so if if overwrite the tags with the series in Calibre, the grouping works.

What though I cannot do is work out a way of using the series_index to get the books in the right order (which the sync with iTunes used to do).

So, 2 questions:

1. How do I include the index?
2. How, in Calibre, can I then mass update the metadata to overwrite the tags with the series and index?

Many thanks,
