It probably depends on your settings in...
Code:
# The algorithm used to assign a new book in an existing series a series number.
# New series numbers assigned using this tweak are always integer values, except
# if a constant non-integer is specified.
# Possible values are:
# next - First available integer larger than the largest existing number
# first_free - First available integer larger than 0
# next_free - First available integer larger than the smallest existing number
# last_free - First available integer smaller than the largest existing number
# Return largest existing + 1 if no free number is found
# const - Assign the number 1 always
# a number - Assign that number always. The number is not in quotes. Note that
# 0.0 can be used here.
# Examples:
# series_index_auto_increment = 'next'
# series_index_auto_increment = 'next_free'
# series_index_auto_increment = 16.5
series_index_auto_increment = 'next'
Try with "next_free"
