Series no longer in order on Library view

Waylander · 11-17-2022, 08:21 AM

I've posted this elsewhere in the thread on the FW 1.15.1 update, but am also posting here in case. I bought a Paperwhite SE for the increased storage space, and it updated to FW 5.15.1. Up to now with previous Kindle devices, I've sideloaded from Calibre and using the 'title' option in 'Sort by' meant my series were grouped in order and alphabetically as on Calibre. This is no longer the case, and I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to fix this?

Update: I'm very sorry, I'm not terribly bright it seems. All it took to sort things out was to turn on the 'Downloaded' filter, and now things are as they should be again.

No. Amazon and/or publishers decide series order on a Kindle and even when it works it can be wrong. The user can edit series order on some other makes.
Of course if you "jailbreak" a kindle, often not possible, then you can edit the series order. The lack of user control on a Kindle has got worse over the last 10 years.
