Metadata Series order of preference
Not sure if I am being blind/stupid, but does Calibre have a method for resolving series name/index when pulling data from multiple sources? For example I have C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair. Goodreads assigns it 'The Chronicles of Narnia #4" while a multi-data source populates it as 'The Chronicles of Narnia (Publication Order) #4'

Ideally I would like to be able set one data source as the preferred source for series and index values.
