If you have your books sorted into collections by series (or author), you can force the Kindle to sort them in order - as long as you're not too OCD about your metadata (or if the OCD for proper series order is stronger than publish date!)
You need to set the "publish date" field in reverse order to the series order - for example Book1 should have a publish date of 12-2010, Book2 11-2010 and Book3 10-2010. Then, if Books 1-3 are in the same collection, and the collection (not the home screen) is sorted by Author, the books will show up in the correct order. You can handle multiple series by the same author by changing the year published.
I suspect this wouldn't work well for series with different authors, but I don't have any of those, yet.
This trick allows me to have my books in series order without having to put the number in the Title.
