Series Sorting on Aura HD

[LizPhillips]

Hi,
I've been using the plugboard from the sticky to add series information to my book titles {series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title}

I have started putting short stories into a series sequence like this 1 1.1 2
In Calibre this sorts the books in the order 1 1.10 2 which is what I want but once transferred to the Kobo the order is 1.10 1 2

Can I tweak the plugboard to use numbers that will sort as per Calibre?

Cheers

I use 5.2s in place of your 2s
that allows for fractional numbers 12.34

Just tried this {series}{series_index:0>5.2s| [|] }{title} and now I get
0001.
00001
00002

Also tried {series}{series_index:0>2.2s| [|] }{title} and get
1.
01
02

I was happy with the decimals showing up on the Kobo, it just seems to sorted them before the leading number, not after.

I was right , hen I corrected myself

{series_index:0>5.2f} - Five characters, consisting of two digits with leading zeros, a decimal point, then 2 digits after the decimal point

Perfect

Thank you very much

"s" is for string (textual data) formatting, "f" is for float (numerical data) formatting.

Just keep that in mind, and you can spot the problem at a glance.

Whether using this 5.2f formatting or not, it doesn't make much sense to use "s" with numbers, like in the original

{series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title}
