Creating Collections for Kobo ordered by series
Hi, is it possible to create a collection for the kobo and have the books in it ordered by position in a series? All I can get right now is date added, author name etc. previous to my Kobo i was using the mantano app on a tablet and that, so long as you had the correct metadata, would order books by series. I know that the epub themselves have all the relevant info in them as I edited them in calibre previously when I was using mantano, although I'm far from literate in calibre.
I've been adding books to the kobo (glo hd running latest firmware) by dragging and dropping from my mac as per standard kobo instructions.
I'm sure there must be away!
Many thanks.
Adam

Thanks. What are shelves? Is that another name for the kobo collections?
I'll give that a go tomorrow.
Cheers

Shelves are what Kobo used to call collections. Some of us old fogies take time to change.

Haha, thanks!
While I'm at it, is it worth patching the kobo?

Some people insist on patches; some are happy with the experience out of the box. It's up to you.

Thanks for your help, I've got it all set up to create collections from series as well as personal collections for my self. It looks complicated at first, but its pretty simple hey!
Just about to have a look at the patches for the kobo too.
Thanks again
Adam
