Currently there's no way to sort books or comics that are part of the same serie, in the correct order.
Even if your books and comics embed correct metadata and even if your files are correctly named with the issue number.
This is a deal-breaker for most large comics libraries. When you have series with dozen/hundred of issues, the UI just become so much unpractical that it is simply unusable, and you continue to use Komga or Kavita mostly for that reason.
A simple fix would be to add a default sort option based on the filename.
But ideally the bookshelf plugin should be improved to store more information about books and comics, and the UI should take profit of it.
