You can tell calibre to sort the author_sort collection by series index instead of by name, if that is what you want. Use the
Specify how SONY collections are sorted tweak. You would want something like
Code:
sony_collection_sorting_rules = [(['author_sort'], 'series_index')]
Books without series will be sorted by title.
What I do is use a plugboard to construct a title that has all the info I want to see. This title is sorted by the default rule for the device display (collection, author, title). The plugboard is
Code:
{title} {pubdate} {series:<.8s| [|}{series_index:| [|]]}
This shows the title, the published year (because that is how I have set the tweak for pubdate display), at most 8 characters of the series, and lastly the series index inside brackets. I include pubdate to help me select books not in a series but where order of release can matter. The series and series index are formatted as "[series [n]]" so that it is easy to visually detect series information even when the sony elides the title.
