Kumar (saunack) | 11 comments Hi,

https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/... mentions this: "... this is handled by the sort title, which is a different field (see below). "
The same content is duplicated in the lower sections as well. Can guidelines regarding sort titles be added to the page as well?

For sorting this is correct.
However, the filter on the combine page uses the info from the sort-by-title field. So leaving out info like the series title from the sort-by-title field will give no results when filtering for the series title on the combine page.
So it is strongly recommended to use the complete title in the sort-by-title field.
