Saving to Disk Multi Auth same series

Hi,

I've not been able to find in a search what Im looking for may haps not searching correctly.

Is it possible to set in Calibre - when saving to disk to save a series to a single folder - regardless of who the author is or by main author ?

example I have a number of Star Trek Books, nearly all are done by different authors but some are in the same series or episodes if I could put it that way.

When I save to disk in calibre it creates a folder for each author and of course when I want to access a particular book in the series its near impossible to do - I know you can sort by series but if I'm just wanting to dive into a folder Id like to see all the books from an author and co author belonging to a series in one folder.

There are a number of other books that have the main author and further in the series a co author appears that too is put into a separate folder.

Thanking all who reply in advance.

Cheers and avagreatday

This does a bit more because I had a lot of different series (~300)

Code:
{series[0]}-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s}-{title}_{id}/{title}_{authors}

the first section makes a folder for the first letter in the series name.
your example:
Star Wars

s_series/Star Wars/01-Jedi...
will also contain:
s_series/Star Trek/05-Wrath of Kahn...
s_series/Starrigger/01-Star Riggers Way...

the second part makes the series folder

the third part puts a 2 digit series index IN FRONT of the title, so the books sort in the proper order
