For magazines you have said you use 2011.01, 2011.02 etc. So how can you differentiate those from someone who has a series of 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 3, 5? The second issue is to do with visual presentation of the results but you could kludge something together for that if you can solve the first issue.

You might have a Guess function (if ticked)
Look at all the indexes for a given series
All integers = basic numbering (default)
4 digit integers with decimals (cant be 2 digit only, 2010.1 is October) is issue date
What do you do with big gaps?
The scheme I use makes it difficult
123 is an omnibus of vols 1, 2, 3
4 is a normal index
4.n is something(s) that slots in between the volume and next. Shorts, fanfic
0.n has no exact placement/unknown (n for ordering of the un-ordered
)
yyyy.ii year.issue (Analog Double (2 month) Issues ruin this)
