I am continually amazed at how powerful drupal is and I can't seem to stop developing my new site. I am hoping to get a little planning help from some drupal wizards as I am stuck a little bit.
I'm working on a video site that will have different categories and each category will have a number of videos. For example:
Fruits
-Apples
-Pears
-Bananas
Vegetables
-Broccoli
-Green Beans
-Carrots
Let's say now that I have 50 videos tagged with 'apples', but those 50 videos consist of 5 "series or sets" of videos with 10 videos each (Like chapters in a book). Consider those video's as a 10 video part series (1 of 10, 2 of 10, 3 of 10...). Eventually on the video page that I have designed I want to allow the user to play any video and then underneath to be able to see a table of contents of those videos in the "series". I will eventually do this with the views module.
My million dollar question is, how can I use taxonomy to tag these videos so that I can create a subgroup of videos that share the common "Apple" tag? Does that make sense? And then also how would drupal know which is the first video in the series and then which is the second, and so forth...
Actually, if you would like a good example of this, see http://drupalize.me/videos/what-drush
Thanks everyone! I really do appreciate it.

Hi Dan, A couple of things
Hi Dan,
A couple of things come to mind right off the bat for me:
1) A field in your content type that holds a series order ID. That way you can go into views and create a filter with your taxonomy term and sort by the ID to get your ordered list.
2) Node Queue module allows for the creation of ordered lists of nodes like you are looking for. That may be of use to you.
Hope that helps!
John
Thanks!
Thanks John. Two great ideas to get me started. I will take a look and see which is best for my scenario. If anything else comes to mind please do share.
