View series in order #462

Currently, clicking a series name just brings up the standard search listing, like this: https://ifdb.org/search?searchfor=series:Scott%20Adams%20Classic%20Adventures There's no option to sort by series order, and no indication of which "episode number" each game is.

Would sorting by publication date do the right thing?

(Maybe we'd just update the series name link to make it sort by publication date instead of by rating…?)

Would sorting by publication date do the right thing?

Not always. Only if 1) the series order is the same as publication order, and 2) no two games share a publication date.

So it won't work for a series with prequels/interquels: https://ifdb.org/search?sortby=old&searchfor=series%3AThe+Curse+of+Captain+Booby Or with multiple entries that share a publication date of, say, "1978": https://ifdb.org/search?sortby=old&searchfor=series%3AScott+Adams+Classic+Adventures
