I was looking at the "custom fields" and which options are available. How hard would it be to include a custom field that had an incremented value field attached to it? IE: a second "series" field? Obviously this can be faked out by just entering a text field "pern [000]" but hey --- I didn't think it would hurt to ask

This would be extremely useful for books that have a numbered series and also belong to a collection which is numbered. For example when entering Anne McAffrey's Pern series... the PERN books have specific series "The Chronicles", "Dragonriders", "Renegades" etc.... but then you also have a specific reading order if you want events to happen sequentially which crosses all of those series.
