Then a single (title or Author) prior (bias) sort is relevant.
Only when the author is IDENTICAL, and the series[index] are the same can you sort on Author (kind of redundant), then title, then Series

I'm not sure what you mean by conflicting things. I want it to sort by author, then within author I would like it to sort by series. In my example all the book were by the same author, in the same series, and would not sort correctly.

I think that you want to click title, then author, then series, to get the sort you want to have.
Also you have to make sure that author and series are spelled identical, otherwise all bets are off.

I want it to sort by author, then series, not just series, so I am clicking them in the right order for what I want, it's simply not ordering it correctly. And I have quadruple checked that all the author and series information is identical.

Yes, all my author and author sort fields are identical (green).
