Amending the order of Series/ Collections in Calibre

Bermudagirl · 10-26-2022, 02:43 PM

On my old laptop, I found a way to amend the order of the collections/ series, so that those starting with "The" would be listed under "T" and those starting with "A" would be listed under "A". I have now moved to a new laptop and have successfully transferred my library, but I cannot remember how to amend the order of the collections/ series.
Can anyone help me?

Hi

Open Calibre Preferences - > Advanced -> Tweaks and in the search tweak box type "title_series_sorting" and search for it. This will allow you to set the "title_series_sorting" to "strictly_alphabetic" instead of the default "library_order". The tweak screen does provide help to explain what this setting does and its limitations so please do read it in full.

Many thanks! I have just found out how to do this in another post here. I obviously wasn't wording my request properly to get the right answer.
My collections are now all in the strict alphabetical order that I was wanting!

You're welcome. And yes searching can be fun if you don't know how the original posters worded the issue or the people answering them.
