I can't seem to grasp this one. I have 132 Star Wars books. They are currently organized by file names in chronological order....

001 Star Wars Crosscurrent
002 Star Wars Lost Tribe of the Sith 01 Precipice

When I import them into Calibre, just the title field is filled in as I have it set to read metadata from the file names.

How do I change the file name so Calibre will also populate the Series field via the file name?

If I can get a clean title, and lets say a Series of "Star Wars [1]", then my import will automatically be in chronological order based on the Series field....and I can mass download covers and real metadata without the Series field being affected.

Therefore easily giving me full metadata for all the books and the ability to organize them via chronological order.

Hopefully that makes sense and thanks in advance for taking the time to read and try and help.
