Neferet | 2 comments So I'm a new librarian and I've been working on my first entry for like an hour, checking and double-checking the Manual and everything, BUT I got stuck at editing the series.

I have 3 options for the book:
1. สเปคตรัม #10
2. Robot #1 (move up)
3. Foundation Universe (move up)
(automatically added when I combined the Bulgarian edition - Стоманените пещери - with the already existing English one - The Caves of Steel). I'd like to move the first one to the bottom, but the "move up" option doesn't seem to be working.

In my understanding, I can't remove just this edition from the สเปคตรัม #10 series and I dare not remove the book with all its editions. Could anyone give me an advise how to approach this issue?

You're right, the (move up) feature on the series has been broken for a while now, unfortunately. The only way to reorder the series on a book is to remove the book from the series and then add it back to that series, because series show in the order they were added. If you're not comfortable removing and re-adding the book, you can link to it here and another librarian will get it.

Plethora (bookworm_r) | 359 comments I'm confused, are we talking about different things?

I can drag and drop on the edit series screen to re-order the books in the series.

Yes, I think Neferet is asking about reordering series on the book page when a book is in more than one series, not about reordering books on the series page when a series has more than one book. At least, that's the question I was answering, so I hope it was the one Neferet was asking. :)

Neferet | 2 comments Thanks for the replies, Cait and Bookworm R!
I did the "remove and add back" procedure and things are ok now. I hope I won't need another hour for the next book I decide to add. :D
