So my quesiton is, is there any way to make my kindle recognize that book nr 1 in a specific series should be displayed top first and then the second etc.. or is this a lost cause?

The issue is that Kindle does a terrible job handling series/collection orders, in that they have no handling at all.
Here is a my posting on how I overcome this. It is not perfect, but it works considering the limitations:

This assumes you have a Kindle that supports the Kindle Collections plug-in.
Note: In my posting, I have a Custom Column script to find and include series information in the title sent to the Kindle. You can re-arrange the order how the title is built to put the Order number in front.
I hope this helps.
