Grouping in a publishers series

This publishers series:

https://www.librarything.com/nseries/260288/Folio-Press-Fine-Editions

of twenty books is curiously grouped into eighteen 'core' works, and two labelled 'collections and selections'. What is the purpose of this grouping, and how is this grouping done? Several of the titles in the series might reasonably be labelled collections and selections, but not the two that have been, which are flatly wrong. Is this editable, and if so how?

If the grouping feature is often erratic, I suggest that the default view of the series page should be ungrouped.

I'm sorry if this feature has been described or debated elsewhere, but I grew weary of site changes that were not improvements or were relevant only to people using the site in ways I do not, and stopped paying attention.

>1 affle: There's no meaning to it other than that's how the automated system (imperfectly) set the groups when the new series system was introduced. You can change which group a work belongs to by going to add to/organize series in the edit series menu.

Thank you very much - perfectly straightforward.
