Okay folks of #Books

Going to get serious about organizing my ebooks and audiobooks. Which filename convention do you think is best (for file-based management)? (suggestions?)

Author Last Name, First name, series name, book number, title
eg: Sawyer, Robert J, The Quintaglio Ascension, Book 1, Far-Seer

Series name, book number, title, author name
eg: The Quintaglio Ascension, Book 1, Far-Seer, by Robert J Sawyer

(boosts for reach appreciated)

@WTL I’m doing something like this in Obsidian. Filenames (titles) are just Book Title - Author(s), using first and last names. I have separate fields (properties) for title, authors, series, series order etc. one markdown file per book because I can use features in obsidian to produce lists of what is in my library or what I’ve read as I see fit.
