I'd really like to be able to view my books based on Series Name. I hate reading them out of order. But unless the series order is conveniently listed on the first page of the book, I don't seem to be able to do that.
Is there a way to do this? How does the Nook treat metadata? Is there a reader out there that can use metadata (software, hardware, etc.)? [Stanza looks like it might have, but I don't think there has been any development on it for some time.] I'm even thinking of upgrading to an iPad.
School me on readers, metadata, filenames, etc. Thanks!

i use calibre. changing the title is not something i like to do and the below steps work more reliably than that.
1. i set the author sort to last, first in preferences.
2. then for each author i set false publication dates in the metadata to newest date first oldest date last to establish the display order when on the kindle.
3. then i upload the files to the k3 with calibre.
4. then when the kindle displays the contents of the kindle in author order it does so by author's last name
5. and then within each author it displays the books in the false pub date order the newest first down to the oldest last.
i just learned about this pub date thing this weekend from one of these mobileread forums [i think the calibre forum] and i don't remember who it was that made that post, duh!
whoops!!! sorry, i got so excited about sharing this new work-a-round i just learned that i neglected the fact that you are not using a k3, again, sorry! duh!
