Hello folks, wonder if anyone can help...

I'm converting books to epub format that belong to part of a series. When I open them up on the reader (Sony PRS-300) I want to see them listed in their correct volume order.

At the moment, I'm doing this by titling:

001 An Outline of Genesis
002 An Outline of Exodus

and I have to sort them in Calibre by clicking on the title column, then they will appear in this order on the reader.

Kovid's Series feature is quite nice, but it creates an extra catalog, and doesn't sort the titles by their volume number.

Does anyone know if EPUB has this Series/VolumeNo feature, and where the Sony PRS-300 will recognise and sort accordingly?

Kind regards,
Craig
