Why is [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?9036 Good Stuff] listed as "Fiction Series" (the only one such a case) and not among Anthology Series? Is it because [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?915601 ''The Good Stuff''] (SFBC 1999), listed just as "O"(mnibus)? And if so, is there a solution (perhaps specifying it to something like O/2A) without fixing the database's inner logic?

Also, I think that more anthologies should be organised into series: the 2 ''New Space Opera''s, obviously, or "Magical Tales from the Masters of Modern Fantasy", ''Explorers'' + ''The Furthest Horizons'', the ''Future'' this and that...

Why is Good Stuff listed as "Fiction Series" (the only one such a case) and not among Anthology Series? Is it because The Good Stuff (SFBC 1999), listed just as "O"(mnibus)? And if so, is there a solution (perhaps specifying it to something like O/2A) without fixing the database's inner logic?

Also, I think that more anthologies should be organised into series: the 2 New Space Operas, obviously, or "Magical Tales from the Masters of Modern Fantasy", Explorers + The Furthest Horizons, the Future this and that...
