Hi! Please see Series: C.H. Beck Wissen : The / All CK "Series" fields are using minimal LT syntax in the work-CK. I.e. they do not use "(SORTORDER|LABEL)". This is why today the series name is repeated in the column where the "LABEL's" are normaly located.

Having long series names (and there are some real long ones) repeating the series name does not provide any additional / any relevant information.

Please suppress this behaviour. If you think an indication as "(blank)", "(empty)", a DOT or whatever is usefull that's OK for me.

There might be workarounds to avoid this (as using "(SPACE)" etc. (We should not start a White Space discussion).

Regards Reinhardt

I believe this is a very recent change to the series page, to show the series title on the right if nothing was added to the CK to force a sort order. I'm not sure what changed to do it, but it had something to do with a problem fix when the new bug tracking had just been implemented.

2> I think your right that it's not supposed to work like this, which makes it a bug. Please report it in the Bug Collectors group.
