Can I rearrange title order

[IrishBob]

I have a list of titles that have a number at the end. Is there a way to change the order of the titles to be in the number order. They are currently not in number order. Thanks for any help

EDIT - I used the series column. Many thanks to davidfor and JSWolf.

Is this number meant to be series order? If so, use the series column. If not, create a custom column and put the number in there to sort on.

If you sort the book list by title, it is actually sorting by the "author sort". Calibre automatically generates that. The exact way can be changed using a tweak. Or you can set it manually to whatever you want. Which would be to put the number at the front of the author sort field.

But, it would be better to look at what it actually means. If the number is a series index, then use the series. Or you can add a custom series field to do it. Or you can use the Reading List plugin to create a list with these books and set the order within that when the list is displayed.
