Originally created by @jkuettner on GitHub (Jan 22, 2022).

I wonder if it is possible to sort the series by a specific metadata tag?

I have some audiobooks (among others from Audible) which has series_sequence as tag in the metadata. I would find it great if I could sort the series by this tag, if it is available.

Is that just another term for volume #?

volume would also be ok for me. Basically I want to sort the series by some metadata tag other then title.

what is the series_sequence tag though, is that just a number?
Is that in the audio file metadata? where are you seeing that?

I believe series_sequence is a custom field in the metadata, or id3 tags. I assume it is a string field, so that also values like 1/5, 2/5, ... 5/5 are possible.

Here is an example output from mediainfo of a local audiobook from my collection:

I haven't heard of that tag being used before, do you have a lot of audiobooks using that? I'm wondering how common this is.

Right now the scanner looks for the tag series-part and uses it as the volume number: https://www.audiobookshelf.org/docs#metadata

This is exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately overlooked. The tag series_sequemce I have simply taken over from audible, without questioning this. But with series-part I get along just as well. Thanks for the clarification!
