Hello, I am very new to Calibre and am working on figuring everything out. I managed to get all my Kindle books converted to epub right when they discontinued the send to PC option or whatever it was.... Anyway, now I have a boatload of books and I am trying to create a small library for my elderly mother-in-law. Most of my books are series, and because they have different titles and she gets easily confused , I thought it would be a great idea to merge the books in a series into one file, which, thanks to google, is how I came across this plugin.
It sounds like it should do what I am wanting (create one book file containing all the books in a series, in order), but I can't seem to get it to work. I appreciate any help, I am sure I am just missing something or doing something wrong.

I have Calibre 8.4, epub merge version 3.2.0. I have deleted all formats except epub for all the books. I have opened each book within calibre to confirm the individual book is ok.

I select the multiple books in a series, then choose "Edit Metadata, Merge Book Records, Merge into first selected book, keep others" and then nothing happens. My understanding is I should get a popup to order the books, but I don't get that and I can't see that anything happened at all. Confirm the first book is still just the first book.

If I do the same process, but choose delete others, it will delete the subsequent books, but the first book is still only the first book.

Again, any help is appreciated. THANKS!
