Please add leading zeros to numbers in epub filenames
-
When a series passes 10 volumes and there are no leading zeros in the volume numbering, epub file sorting does not work correctly. Volumes that begin with the same number are all listed together (1, 11, 12, 2, 20, etc). Adding leading zeros to the volume numbering would resolve this issue.

Are you suggesting that file names on the site change, or that people enter them with zeros? Or should they have zeros added on the site when the only published copies are less than 10, but may eventually be more than 10?

@SomeOldGuy I'm guessing they want 2 digit volume numbers to be the default in the metadata. I can see Calibre does what they've mentioned unless you manually adjust the title sort metadata yourself to have 2 digit volume numbers. Google Play books on the other hand does seem to understand that volume 10 should go after volume 9 rather than volume 1.

@jpwong A lot of it depends on how the application list things. For example, Amazon lists one group of novels as:
Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average In The Next Life_! Light Novel Vol. 1.azw3
Looking at them in a file directory, they're listed as 1 through 15, in an alphabetic listing has them as you would expectt.
In Calibre, though, they're listed:
1/10/11/12/13/14/15/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9
That's because they're listed without the extension, so the ".azw3" isn't part of alphabetization.
Some applications alphabetize by metadata. Some by file name. Extensions can be problem at times.

@SomeOldGuy I would like to see 2 digit volume numbers in the filenames and the metadata. Anyplace where the volume number is listed.

I've noticed the issue and if it bugs me enough, I'll edit the file name to add that leading zero. That seems to satisfy MoonReader+'s sitting algorithm.
