Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I hope this hasn't been requested already, I couldn't find it.

I have some series that have the main story told in the volumes 1,2,3, and so on, that sometimes later, sometimes simultaneously have books that take place in between. I would like to add them as "series title" Number 5.5.

Why would this be helpful?

The books would be sorted within the series by their numbers. e.g. 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 5.5; 6

You can already do that, or do you mean the sorting is incorrect? Your current screenshot does not show 5.5 for the last book, that's why I am asking.

I swear I did it. I entered it as 5.5 and saved. It was not showing the "#5.5" in the upper corner as you can see in my screenshot. I also tried 5,5 as my system is configured in german...
After I read your answer I retried it and boom, now it works. What kind of witchery is this?
I could have saved me the 5 minutes of gimp for the mockup.
Thank you for your quick reply.
I think I can close this now and feel a little stupid.
