        I just deployed the Series entity work on beta.bookbrainz.org
      • Good work akashgp09[m] !
      • I know CatQuest was waiting patiently to try it in beta too !
      • CatQuest
        :D
      • monkey
        I took extra time to test it locally, with the hope that we can minimize the time it stays on beta. While it is on beta and not in prod, there will be some display issues as prod is not aware of Series at all.
      • CatQuest
        right!
      • first issue, after adding editions to a series. I want to write in the number in the enter value" box. but I clic kin the first one and write one, but it shows up on bottom!
      • the books also reorder (this is not what i expect thme to)
      • and if i enter the number right after adding the order looks confused
      • this is difficult if you add thme in an order but thne want to add numbers and they become out of order and thne yo uhave to go bakc and double check with another list to make sure things aren't out of order
      • not intuitive
      • monkey
        I see what you mean.
      • CatQuest
        better if you added the number in the add box or they didn't reorder once you enterd a number
      • monkey
        When do you think the reordering should happen?
      • CatQuest
        well not at all/after you click enter
      • or you added the number before you click "add edition"
      • monkey
        Enter on the whole form you mean?
      • CatQuest
        so you could enter the number and the linked eidtion and click "add edition"
      • or have it in the order they are added as and don't reorder at all, evne if you add numbers
      • usually people will add tings to series in order
      • monkey
        That's the case if you use manual ordering type
      • CatQuest
        but say. if something turns out to have somethingactually in position 5 in a 7 edition series
      • and ther are only 6 in that series presently
      • then you could either reorder or change numbers
      • i honestly don't get why you have bnumbers in "automatic"
      • it sohuld be automatic then. and not reorder at all no matter what any numbers where
      • monkey
        "and not reorder at all no matter what any numbers where" That's what manual means. You get to manually order them. The automatic ordering will automatically sort on the value you have in the box on the left
      • CatQuest
        i don't understand. anyway here is this https://beta.bookbrainz.org/series/a35803e2-c4c...
      • monkey
        I do get that it can be confusing that items you're adding get reordered automatically, maybe something we can improve on
      • CatQuest
        yeh
      • monkey
        If you add all the items in a series and only then add numbers, it should be less problematic (maybe)
      • Or maybe items that don't have a number should appear under the ones that already have a number and have already been reordered
      • So for example, adding items at first, they show up in the order they were added: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/umklZ...
      • CatQuest
        yes, numbered things shouldn't go to the bottom, they shoudl go up
      • monkey
        I type the number "1" in the first one, and it gets reordered at the bottom, which feels confusing (?) https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WaXnG...
      • CatQuest
        exactly
      • monkey
        Right.
      • OK, that's noted.
      • CatQuest
        that's what i experienced. and i didn't evne realise it was getting reordered at firs, i jsut thoguht the imput was dodgy
      • monkey
        P.S: the number is optional,if you don't add any the items will be ordered the way you added them.
      • CatQuest
        that's also unclear :D
      • monkey
        Yep
