The Series feature groups multiple articles published across different dates or sections into a named sequence.
Series is implemented as a taxonomy, which is why the front matter variable is defined as a list of strings.
Configuration Link to this heading
Ensure the series taxonomy is explicitly defined in your project configuration.
hugo.yaml
taxonomies:
series: seriesFront Matter Setup Link to this heading

series_weight: 10
---Sorting Logic Link to this heading
Articles within a series are sorted by their taxonomic weight (external link). If series_weight is not set, Hugo applies its default sort order (external link).
