Kindle's biggest downfall is easily its inability to organize - big shocker there - everyone knows this already.

I use a Macbook Pro, Calibre, and I have a Kindle 3. My quandry is this - I can't seem to get the books to organize themselves on my Kindle 3. For example - I read several series - the one I'm having trouble with right now is the Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust. I edit the metadata in Calibre for the series and then transfer it and most of them stay in the correct order (so when i sort by author - they come up in the series order) except for ONE BOOK. it always ends up at the end or in some random place amongst my other books.

When i put the books in collections it doesn't organize it self properly either. All the other series that I have thus far put on have stayed in the correct order. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I do not want to put number and the series name in front of all my titles.

Does anybody have any other solution??
