Describe the issue

Series are not displayed in the expected order on an authors page.

The Directory structure I entered was:

── Author Name
   ├── 1. Series 1
   │   └── Books
   ├── 2. Series 2
   │   └── Book 1 - The Runes of the Earth (2004)
   ├── [...]
   ├── 11. Series 11
   │   └── Books
   └── 12. Series 12
       └── Books

The outcome of this on the author page was:

  1. Series 1
  2. Series 11
  3. Series 12
  4. Series 2
    ...

The Expected outcome was:

  1. Series 1
  2. Series 2
    ...
  3. Series 11
  4. Series 12

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Use an ordered list in the directory structure when inputting an ordered list of series under an author

Audiobookshelf version

v2.3.3

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Isn't this expected behavior? A "Series" doesn't have a number associated with it, the BOOKS in a series have numbers associated with them. So ABS would just see the 1. Series as a series with that exact name 1. Series, no parsing of the number.

Edit:
As a workaround, if you really want to have your series numbered like that, then you could change your naming to zero-fill the numbers, such as 01. Series, etc, and you will find they will sort as you expect.

@alexedwards565 commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2023):

Thanks for the workaround

Yes, in most use cases the order of the series wouldn't matter, but I'm I'm trying to organise Doctor Who audio dramas, so the order of series does matter. I imagine there are other cases where it would matter too.

I know ABS doesn't parse the numbering on a series as it would with books, but I did expect series to be listed in alphabetical order, which they largely are. The issue is that numerals are not sorted alphabetically in the expected way, as they are in a file browser.

I actually 0 fill the numbers when adding the series order to books to force the sorting. Not all file systems try to recognize numbers like that, and just do straight ASCII sorting.
