Sorting books in series

JosephFrench · 06-03-2020, 01:12 AM

I have a column in my Calibre library which says what the series of the book is. It also has the number of that book in the series. But when I sort on the series attribute, the books aren't in series order. Is there something I missed to make them be sorted this way? They were being sorted like this previously, but I don't know what I changed (if anything) to make this happen.

Entry into the series column (as opposed to using the MDE, which is 2 sectioned) requires the entry conform to:

series-name [series_Index value]

If it looks any different, that is your issue
