A Kindle user will have to help with the Kindle collections part.

NB On a filename based system like my PEz, you put the series index First (using Save to disk/Device Templates): 01-WOT, 02-WOT, 798- WOT so that it sorts in order

But you have to lay the foundation before any the solutions will work.
(Remember the old computer phrase: GIGO. Garbage in = Garbage out)

You need to populate the Series field and THEN set the book number correctly for each title in the list in the Metadata editor.

Series info Does Not belong in the Title of a book in Calibre's Library view.

Check your work (Quality?) it the Series section of the Tag editor. If you see the Series name 2 or more times: Typo or spelling error.
(There is a possible case where two different (author)series have the same name. (I have been lucky to Not have this issue ) You will have to Make the names different Deliberately)

So work on getting all your ducks in a row for when a Kindle specific answer come back.
