How do I sort books in series order?

I have several books by the same author (20+).
These are in three series (and sub series)
The library sorts by AUTHOR just fine, but then puts the books in ALPHABETICAL order.
The SERIES order in not ALPHABETICAL.
The last (latest) book starts with "A", but the first one starts with an "O"
Is there a way to change this?
Can I change the file name and add a NUMBER in front of the name to force a sort?
Thank you in advance.

I asked the same question a couple of months ago ("niceto have...") - no reply
The best I came up with was sortingby publication date - at least that gets them in the right order if not in series / sequence order.
The alternative is a pain - down load them in series order then sort by download date.

  • How do I sort books into categories

    Can anyone tell me how to sort books into categories on my IPad?  Thanks!

    If this is in the iBooks app then you should be able to create new collection via the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf, and you can then move books into collections via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf (that should let you select books and then move them)

  • IBooks: How do you sort books into categories?

    Thanks in advance.

    From the library view in iBooks, you can create and access Collections, and place books into them.
    Tap Collections, and you will see the New and Edit buttons.
    From the bookshelf, if you tap Edit (upper right) you can then tap the book and then Move to move it to a collection.

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • When creating a photo book how can I sort the photos shown by file name?

    I am creating a photo book. The photos shown in the right hand column appear out-of-order. How do I sort them by file name? The album in iPhoto the book is based on is sorted by file name.

    You can not - they are soreted by date
    --  the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort  --  I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want  to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
    suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • How To: Sort Numbers in Ascending Order in a Generated List

    Greetings! How do I set up a Generated List of Paragraphs so that it sorts in true ascending order? What I want is:
    1.1
    1.2
    1.3
    1.4
    1.5
    1.6
    1.7
    1.8
    1.9
    1.10
    I have tried every trick I can think of with the sort order listed on the reference page. But all I can get is something that sorts by individual number (ignoring the numeric value) like:
    1.1
    1.10
    1.11
    1.2
    1.20
    1.21
    1.3
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hello there, Michael! Thanks so much for looking at my post! Alas, the LOP will not work. I should have explained more, but it was so complicated I thought folks would give up reading.
    Here's the best I can render it without getting permission to share a good example document. I do not blame anyone if it's too cumbersome or convoluted to wade through...
    This is a requirements document which has sort of a "legal" tinge to it--as the document evolves we must maintain traceability for individual requirements. This means, for example:
    Version 1 - I have requirements 1 and 2.
    Version 2 - I need to add a new requirement, which should appear before requirement 1 in the document. Even though it comes before requirement 1 in the document, numerically it will be requirement 3 and requirement 1 will remain requirement 1.
    Version 3 - I need to remove requirement 2. Even though I now have only 2 requirements, their numbers will not change (they remain requirements 1 and 3, appearing in reverse order).
    Version 4 - I need to move requirement 3 to be after requirement 1. Again, the requirements keep their original number, even though their position has changed and there is no longer a "requirement 2" number in use.
    Originally, I told the team (I'm doing this for a different dept), that they would have to hand-number requirements, which they did for a while. But that was getting very cumbersome, and the scenarios above are limited to one or two occurrences per document. So I created an auto-number sequence for them to use in the initial version and added a little smoke-and-mirrors work process to take care of changes in later versions. The last bit of chicanery I cannot get to work is the index...
    Even if there are no changes to the requirements after the initial version, the index still does not sort in ascending numeric order. It was working with the hand-numbered requirements because they were using leading zeros. But without being able to include leading zeros in the auto-numbering formats (I tried the "use a zero as a tab leader" solution and like to have thrown my new monitor out of the window), I cannot find a solution.
    Or rather, I think the solution is "you have to hand-number requirements".
    For anyone who has made it this far, I truly appreciate your time and patience!

  • Photos for iOS: How can i sort all of my albums automatically in alphabetical order

    Hey there,
    first off, why isn't there a a community for the new Photos app?
    Anyway, here is my problem:
    How can i sort my albums on the new Photos app on iOS?
    I think it's not possible at the moment.
    I am using the iCloud Photo library and uploadet all of my 15.000 photos from the last 15 years.
    And because of that, i now have many many albums on Photos now.
    Overall i love the new app and i love the iCloud Photo library, but i cannot sort my albums on the iOS app automatically in alphabetical order.
    I can sort albums manual, but who wants that, when you have so many of them???
    I have Photos on my Mac too and there i am able to do sort them in alphabetical order. But it is not adopted to iOS or the iCloud Web-App.
    Because of that, i have a complete picture chaos on my iPhone and when i am looking for this one pic in that one album it takes me forever to find it.
    So please Apple, fix this and we all can live happily ever after!
    Thank you!

    Moments in Photo are the new Events.  T
    here's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window showing all of the albums.
    The downside to this simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title while viewed in the Folder in the main window or in the sidebar. But they can be sorted manually.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • How can I sort my photos in a descending order as I could in iPhotos

    How can I sort my photos in a descending or ascending order as I could in iPhotos?

    Greetings Regina,
    Hope Waukesha is treating you well, haven't been there in years
    Events are sorted in the following ways:
    If Date, Keyword, Title, and Rating are not what you are looking for then it is time to start using Albums.
    Highlight the images you wish to work with and then go to File > New > Album (you can drag more images into this Album later if you want to arrange more of them.)
    Once you have the images in an Album you can use the "Manually" sort option which means you can drag the images into whatever order your heart desires.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
    You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
    If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.
