Supplementary question, is there any plug-in or built-in feature that can provide a listing of obviously missing books within a given series name? Say if numbers 1, 2,and 4 are present (or 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, depending how people use the numbering).
Thanks. Merry Christmas.

I use integers for the main books in a series and fractional numbers for novellas, prequels, etc. One exception is when I have an omnibus where I use the first book as the integer and the last book as the fraction.
For instance, in the In Death series, 23 would be
Memory in Death, 23.5 would be
Haunted in Death (a novella) and 24 would be
Born in Death. For an omnibus which was books 3 to 6, the series index would be 3.06. For prequels, in the Valkyrie Bestiary series (which my wife likes), there are 3 prequels which I have numbered as 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75.
Joyeux Noël!
