Add "Abbreviated Series" as a column in the Library panel

With the release of Logos/Verbum 9, the Passage Guide is now using "Abbreviated Series" data to display commentaries. Unlike "Abbreviated Title", "Abbreviated Series" isn't an accessible field that we can see, sort by, and edit in the Library panel. It would be great if it were!

I don't see how this helps as it was introduced as an abbreviation for Passage Guide purposes and could confuse the primary purpose of providing a (single) name that links *many* resources.0

To illustrate the likely confusion of purpose, both the original EBC series and the Revised series are given the same "abbreviated" series name of "EBC" in the guide. To distinguish the two, change the Series name of one.0

@mailmedav-48 It would help me by letting me set and change Abbreviated Series data for my resources.0

The ideal solution is to stop Logos creating abbreviated series names! This can be achieved by changing the series name, which is recorded as a User Series in the Catalog database (in order to preserve the original Series name), but it is still displayed as the Series name in Library. It is also possible to create a (user) series name when there was none. All of this will apply to an Abbrev Series name, but it can create problems for the display in Passage Guide. So my caveat would be a clear pecking order:
1. User Series name (because this obviates use of an Abbrev name!)
2. Abbrev Series name (user name will override default name)
3. Series name (when an Abbrev name is not supplied)0 -
@Dave Hooton I don't want the User Series Name to trump the Abbreviated name, because that, too, can create inconveniences in the Passage Guide if my User Series Name is not itself abbreviated.0
