Any other takers on this problem? Still doing my own research, found a post to old forums suggesting this.

Numerical Pathing: Use numbers in a specific format to account for series position. Various output methods: "Universe 1, Saga 3, Book 12", 001-003-012, or anything else that works for you. Three or four digits, with preceding zeros to force correct display, can account for the longest running publications (mags, comics, etc). Note the text between numbers is a "divider" and consistently displayed, allowing no variability (null values are not displayed).
Numerical Subgrouping: Basically as above, but subgrouping might deal with forking better as it allows data to be a cross-section of the records. Appears as: 001.003.012.

I wanted to try numerical subgrouping to have a feel of it. Series column doesn't allow multiple periods. So sounds like a job for a custom column? Should I use comma separated text, like tags?
