1.2 Books in a series, in series sequence number

I wondered if there was a one-step way of achieving it that would automatically come on when Calibre starts.
Yes there is but you need to set a tweak under preferences - tweaks. I use the following which does exactly what you want.

sort_columns_at_startup = (('authors', 0), ('series', 0), ('title', 0))

See attached image for clarity.

I included a image of a second tweak that will ensure your books in your library are not sorted on the articles (A/The/An). An example would be "The Client" would sort under C not T if library order is selected in the second tweak. If you like it sorting on T then ignore the second tweak.

Good Luck.
