Bookpedia series volume number field and copyright field

I would like to see a separate field for the volume number of a book that is part of a series. Ideally the field should occur next to the Series field in the entry/edit form. I know I can use a custom field for this purpose, but entering the information would be more convenient if one field held the Series name and an adjacent field held the volume number within the series.

Also, it would be helpful to include a copyright field for the original copyright date of a book, which in many cases will differ from the release date of the edition that I own. I'd like to use this field to organize an author's books chronologically, even if my library contains some reissues, paperbacks, etc. Again, I know I can (and do) use a custom field for this purpose, but it would be more convenient to have the field on the initial screen of the entry/edit form.

Thank you for the feedback. You can re-arrange the field order and also change the tab that contains it by visiting the preferences. Under Fields --> add/edit panel you can move your new custom fields to be next to the series number and release date. The table pop up lets you change the tab and drag and drop to re-order.

Thank you, belatedly, for this information. It's working just as I was hoping it would.
