You might also want to consider having your book titles more human-readable, and letting calibre's output turn them into what your reader needs (I've got a Sony, so I'm not very up on how other readers list their books). So your authors could be listed as FN, LN, with LN, FN in author_sort, and author, series name, and series number could go into their respective slots, leaving the title as just book name. Then have the output to device assemble the book title (or pseudo-title) the way you've got it, which I assume is the way your device needs it. This can avoid some weird sorting problems because each field to be sorted is limited to a simpler format.
