I have about a 1000 books so far and many are trilogies or continuing series and I would like them to be kept in order. Is that possible?

First make sure you adding your series info to the series column. Then clicking on the column headings will sort that column. I order my columns by sorting on the title heading followed by the series heading followed by the Author heading. This groups all books in order by Author and within each author all the series are together and the titles not part of a series end up grouped alphabetically.
You might want to try this tweak it will provide my stated sort on start-up of calibre.
Code:
# Provide a set of columns to be sorted on when calibre starts # The argument is None if saved sort history is to be used
# otherwise it is a list of column,order pairs. Column is the
# lookup/search name, found using the tooltip for the column
# Order is 0 for ascending, 1 for descending
# For example, set it to [('authors',0),('title',0)] to sort by
# title within authors.
sort_columns_at_startup = ('authors',0),('series',0),('title',0)
Good Luck.
