Obviously there is a lot of inconsistency in how titles are put together by the publisher in the metadata.
I've been using (and want to use) the Series tag in Calibre for the Series name and number.
I have two questions:
1) Do people recommend "cleaning up the title" and removing the series name from the title of the book?
2) How do you handle the Number for Series that don't have an obvious order (Liaden series where the book release dates jump around)
I'm asking these as Calibre questions, but if it matters, I read my ebooks on an iPad or iPhone using Marvin.
Thanks!

I would recommend cleaning the Titles of all 'extraneous' stuff, like pubdates, series etc.
For series with no designated or obvious sequence I would recommend just having them all at 0.
FWIW - I have a #subtitle/Subtitle custom column
