Hello,

I've been searching by had no luck.

Trying to get a suggestion on what field other audiobook listeners use for audio book order(position in series) e.g. 5th book in series, or 5.5 a short novella. Is there a standard field for this I might be missing?

I didn't really want to include it in the title field, album or create a custom field.  
(I tried doing a custom Series-num but mp3tag doesnt let you click in that field and edit it , like the track field)  
Thank you

I doubt that.  
Where and how did you create the field with which name?

I right.clicked on the column header. selected New. gave it a name of series-part.

I can click right in the track field, year field, but not my series-part field. (Not sure how to include a screen shot) also created a 'titlesort' field also. same method i cant click in.

Yes, there is a value the for the field and value. select from the arrow dropdown box for each.  
Maybe its something on my work station preventing it. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling

Cool. I deleted my appdata folder for mp3tag, reran it and opened a mp3. added my columns back and I can edit them now. Thanks!
