This might be a bit out there but don't knock it 'til you've given it a go.

Connect your Kindle to Calibre.

Using the Column title "On Device" do a sort so that they all rise to the top.

Select all the items "On Main"

Right click and select "Convert Books" then "Create Catalog of Books in Your Library"

Change the output to MOBI.

Untick "Include Recenty Added"

"apply" then "OK".

It will create a book for you that has the Cover, Title, Author, Series, Description, rating etc"

Upload it onto your kindle.

Open the book and it has hotlinks to each book. There is a sort option at bottom called "View Section List"

When you do this you have ALL the metadata, and all the books in each series, in series numbered order.

Of course this doesn't change the sorting on your kindle but it means I can look at which books comes next in the series and give myself a quick reminder about the book from the description field. I can also see the cover.

For more help on it look at "Catalogs" for Calibre.
