Michele | 6349 comments One of these series is the books in publication order. The other series is the books in internal chronological order. Both are legitimate series, so neither should be deleted.

Michele | 6349 comments You're welcome! These long inter-related serieses can be a real bear to get organized. That website is very handy.

As to getting the various serieses to reference each other, that's a great question. I don't actually know how the "Related series" display is populated, so I'm not sure how to go about it. Possibly another more experienced librarian can weigh in on this...

Melanie (mvalente89) | 2197 comments The Related Series section is just other series by that author. It's not actually for series related to the one you're looking at (although it can appear that way due to an author writing connected series).

The only way to reference another series is to add a link to the description. Here's an example.

Main series, has a link to the spin-off in the description,
