Hey G'day,
Thank you for taking the time to reply.. I know I can do series in a folder but that doesnt resolve the problem with having the Author listed first. Author name (book title) (everything that author wrote series wise).. as per my David Gemmel example.
Just as a by the by if you didnt know already..

The maximum length for a path (file name and its directory route) — also known as MAX_PATH — has been defined by 260 characters. But with the latest Windows 10 Insider preview, Microsoft is giving users the ability to increase the limit.
The recent most Windows 10 preview is enabling users to change the 260 characters limit. As mentioned in the description, “Enabling NTFS long paths will allow manifested win32 applications and Windows Store applications to access paths beyond the normal 260 char limit per node.”

Some interesting things can be done with Windows file naming and directory structures.
