Using Series Column for Genre?
I currently have a separate genre column, before series. I am thinking of merging the two columns to save screen space.
I don't know how to merge columns, though, and don't want to overwrite the series info for books/articles which have series info, but I do want to save space. I have tweaked "auto increment series index" so it doesn't try ordering the books; it used to mis-order them. Has this worked for anyone else? |

If you start with a search series:false Then the overwrite issue become easier to manage. BTW if screen real estate is your main issue: Click the column header: Hide You can also drag the order (or use Preferences: Add your own columns to control order or show) If you want a Quick look: Tap 'I' (then you don't need the details pane open) |

Attached is a screen shot of my 'Series Title' column that shows the contents of my #title_prefix column (if set), then series (if set) then title. I expect you'd want something like: {#genre:|| }{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - } |
