I didn't know if I should start a new topic, when this was so similar, so I'm just going to ask here.

I'm still getting use to my PRS-505 and I haven't found a naming/organizing structure that works.

I fix the metadata of all my books in calibre before syncing them to my 505, but obviously the 505 doesn't show all of that data. I like that the series becomes a collection and all, but that still doesn't help me figure out which book comes first, second and so forth.

I don't know if this is a problem to be solved with folders or if I should name the files differently.

All I want is way to go into a folder/collection/author/whatever, and see the books in order, what is the best way to accomplish that? I tried a sample file with this format [Series Name - Book #] - [Title] but if the series name is too long then I can't see the title and so forth.
