Kindle Paperwhite not organizing books properly

Leir · 10-23-2012, 10:27 AM

So recently I got myself a Kindle paperwhite. I use calibre to side load my books into it. However, when I tried to add a volume of books in, the books are jumbled up and not in order. More specifically, I tried to add the 11 books of Sword Art Online, but volume 10 of that series always appear between volume 1 and 2. I put them together in a series and numbered them in calibre, then ported them over to the kindle to no avail. What am I doing wrong and how can I rectify this? This is my first ereader by the way.

Use 2 digit numbering. Alphabetical sorts would show 1, 10, 2. They would also show 01, 02, 10.
