How do I Correct Numbering in a Series?

[Nyssa]

looking up the Molly Murphy Mysteries series I noticed that the prequel, The Amersham Rubies, is listed at the top, but with no number.

Once you click onThe Amersham Rubiesit shows as book 1. I'd like to go in and change it to 0.5, but I did not see an option to edit.

Will someone please teach me how to correct the series number?

it says .5 if you look at the series down the bottom...

I corrected that one for you.

Actually The Amersham Rubies was listed as book number 1 in the series also. How ever now it's book 0.5.

Thank you Rikka! :)

Would you mind telling me how? I do have Librarian status, I just didn't see the right option.

[Nyssa]

Never mind Rikka. I figured it out! :)

I was trying to fix the numbering for the Rough Riders series by Lorelei James. It is not allowing me to drag and move around the series order. Can someone please help with this? Thank you.

There's numbering and then there's ordering so I am not sure this is the right thread. Asimov's Robot series is possibly in need of both, which might lead to some follow-on work for his Robot Novel series and his Complete Foundation Universe series.

Basically, I, Robot (1950) and The Rest of the Robots (1964) were both incorporated into The Complete Robot, which Asimov describes (in the Author's Note of Prelude to Foundation) as the first (chronological) book in the series. The rest of the books in the series at that time were The Caves of Steel (1954), The Naked Sun (1957), The Robots of Dawn (1983), and Robots and Empire (1985).

The remaining short story collections, Robot Dreams (1986) and Robot Visions (1990), as well as The Positronic Man (1992), co-written by Robert Siverberg, chronologically belong between The Complete Robot and The Caves of Steel, although there is very little new content (except the title stories) in either collection and the novel is deriviative from the short story The Bicentennial Man.

My thoughts are that all the two earler collections are precursors of the series (perhaps 0.1 and 0.2 but not primary works), The Complete Robot is #1 (in keeping with Asimov's description), the later two collections are perhaps 1.1 and 1.2 (but not primary works) and The Positronic Man perhaps 1.5 (and not primary); this also makes it number 0.5 in the Robot Novels series. I realize that some people may not be confortable with this numbering scheme so perhaps it would be better to simply say the series is not numbered (since it never really was). In either case, the series needs to be reordered and the drag and drop feature doesn't work for me. Do you need special permissions?

Another possible complication is whether to include the Robot Mystery series: Mirage, Chimera, Aurora, and Have Robot, Will Travel and/or the Caliban series: Caliban, Inferno and Utopia, to this series. BTW, the Robot Mystery series apparently falls chronologically between The Robots of Dawn and Robots and Empire while Caliban follows Robots and Empire.

Can someone correct the ordering of the Foundation Series? Drag and drop does not work for me. I would like the omnibus edion to fall below the single volumes.

[Vicky]

Foundation? What's wrong with it?

[Deborah]

I fixed it.

[Chuck]

Thanks. Can someone also correct the order of Asimov's Robot Series? The book number should be used with the two omnibuses coming last.

I recently added Fuzzy Ergo Sum to the database but have a question of the series number. Originally Piper published Little Fuzzy & Fuzzy Sapiens before his death. Ace then commissioned other authors to write Fuzzy Bones and Golden Dream: A Fuzzy Odyssey (though GD is technically book one from a different POV). Anyway, years later the manuscript for Fuzzies and Other People was published, making the other author's books no longer "Canon". Fuzzy Ergo Sum continues from the canon stuff, but is on a par with Tuning's and Mayher's books.

Thoughts or ideas on this one?

I would suggest keeping the numbering as makes sense to the story arc, and putting the explanation into the Series Description section. Alternatively, splitting the series' up by authors could solve the problem too, though rather inelegantly, imo.

I don't have library status but I would like to see a series number fixed. ISBN Number 0545272114
Amulet of Avantia: Equinus the Spirit Horse should also read (Beast Quest #20. Right now it is not listed as being part of a series.
Thanks

I combined it with the other editions. It should show on the series page now.
