Ah - that's what I thought might happen - the titles with just a series are sorting prior to the titles with a series and subseries. What I'm looking for is a way to preserve the series sort but also display the subseries if recorded. I do have the main series order with unique numbering (I use the 0.1 notation for interpolated short stories), so that's not a problem.
So instead of:
A [4]
A [21]
A - B [20.04]
A - B [20.21]
X [4]
X [5]
X [8]
X - Q [5.01]
X - Q [5.11]
I'd be wanting to see something along the lines of:
A [4]
A [21] (B [1])
A [22] (B [2])
A [23]
X [4]
X [5]
X [6] (Q [1])
X [7] (Q [2])
X [8]
I have a nasty feeling I'm going to have to resort to using the subtitle field which is annoying because I like being able to see at a glance whether the book is an anthology or a short piece. That's because I have a 55 minute train ride twice a day and I can fit one or 2 short pieces in that time, but I don't necessarily want to read something longer - that's for evenings and weekends. Still, I'm coming up to retirement this year and the daily commute won't be so much of a factor, but I still will need to ration my reading to fit in with lunch breaks and the like.
