Question about copying to another library
Question: When copying from one library to another, is it possible to maintain the order of the Calibre IDs? Obviously the IDs themselves would be different.

EDIT: Copying to a blank library. That detail should've been mentioned.

Probably not. if you have (123) and (124) but your copied entry needs to be in between, it would mean renumbering other entries just to slot it in.

This is to a blank library. Should have mentioned that detail.

A WAG is the order (as sorted) of selection biases the transfer order. but I can't prove that

What's the option called, specifically? I'm not seeing it.
