Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

What happened?
For series that are settings and have multiple stories in them with no inherent order giving them a series number for the setting doesn't make much sense. The problem is that when viewing the parent series all the subseries' orders are disregarded.
What did you expect to happen?
Books with no series number could be shown after the ones that do and the remainder could be sorted by their subseries+series number to differentiate them.
Displaying the first letter of the subseries followed by the subseries number could make them distinct from the parent series they belong to.
Or a tag displaying the series name under the books like on the Skeumophic view or a box around the expanded series for normal view would separate them nicely.
When displaying books if no series number is found you could assign it a temp "series number" as a UID followed by the subseries number so the normal sorting handles grouping the books together (eg 1,2,3,4 of the subseries becomes 1234.1, 1234.2, 1234.3, 1234.4)
Steps to reproduce the issue
Have a book that is part of a subseries but with no series number for the parent series
View the parent series and enable expand subseries

@averageyogi commented on GitHub (Dec 18, 2024):
Related to #1674, when you expand a series that isn't numbered, it's sorted by Added By date. That's the order discrepancy you're seeing when you expand the subseries.
If you want them numbered when the series is expanded, you can add numbers for the books in that super-series instead of leaving it blank. If there isn't a natural order for the series, you could separate each subseries by 100, so numbered entries start at 1,2,3,etc., first subseries starts 101,102,..., next subseries is 201,202,..., and so on.
