Describe the issue

In the series index field of an audiobook, 01 is different from 1.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Take a pair of audiobooks that are a part of a series, and put them in your library under the format: John Smith/Series Name/01 - Book Title as suggested in the documentation
  2. Note that in the library, the series index of the books is listed as 01 and 02
  3. match one of the books (e.g. book 1) to a series using the full match function, replacing the series id.
  4. Note that in the library, book 1 is listed as 1 in the series, and book 2 is still listed as 02.

Audiobookshelf version

@advplyr commented on GitHub (May 5, 2022):

Series sequence is stored as a string to cover all use-cases then uses natural numeric based sorting. This covers things like 1a, 1b or roman numerals.
We could attempt to convert to a number and if so it would strip the leading 0, but maybe someone wants their series shown as 001, 002, etc.

@DDriggs00 commented on GitHub (May 5, 2022):

I think that trimming leading zeroes would be sufficient to fix most problems, and cause very few other problems (e.g. 1b, etc.). While using 01 or 001 is useful in the case of sorting done by non-natural file systems, the metadata displayed in the web app does not have that issue, and using 1 is nearly universally accepted as standard.
