Hello
I got a kindle today and have been happily loading books onto it but I've noticed trilogys are shown out of order. Is there a way to keep books listed in the correct order?
Thanks

The default sort order is in terms of last viewed but if you scroll up to the top line of the display you can change this to alphabetical order. You can also group books by collections.

Thank you but that still lists a trilogy in the wrong order.

When you are saving the books, can't you rename them so that they will go in order ie Star Wars 4: A New Hope etc

I suppose it all depends on how the books are named. If they aren't in alphabetical order then how is the Kindle supposed to know which order the books come in? Personally, it's an issue that has never bothered me.

If you want to go this way take a look a calibre, best piece of software for handling ebooks.

It really doesn't matter though does it? It will always keep the book you are reading open when you switch the Kindle on, and put it at the top of the list when you press home, so unless you are reading all 3 books simultanously it shouldn't matter what order they appear in the list.
