Question Help with managing titles with a series

I have spent most of the night trying to figure this out by reading and reading and testing and testing but I am stuck someplace and would appreciate some help. I learned alot along the way but am struggling with one problem

I can add, edit, convert and save my books to the right folder and it includes the series and series number in it
EXAMPLE:
Spackled and Spooked - Jennie Bentley.epub
comes over as:
Spackled and Spooked - [ A Do-It-Yourself Mystery ] - 002 - Jennie Bentley.epub

which is what I want ...the result was done by editing the SAVING BOOKS TO DISK template with the following:
{author_sort}/{title} - {series} - {series_index:0>3s} - {authors}

THE PROBLEM I am having is this -- I have deleted the book from calibre library as I saved it to my hard drive (until I get more books converted) but when I went to get all of them added back (by add books), the Series Name and Number show up in the same column as the Title so it's not sorting the way I know it is intended to with the title and series in their own correct column. The author portion goes perfect where it is to be but the rest does not.

WHAT have I done wrong or what am I missing?

I HOPE i have explained what I am trying to say so someone will understand

I totally think Calibre ROCKS and really have been spending alot of hours reading thru all of the forum and manual but somehow I KNOW I missed something or misunderstood something.

Please help this lil ole' lady get her books fixed so she can move them to her new toy (PanDigital Novel Multimedia 7) to take to the beach later in the winter.
