Is there a fix which will provide a secondary sort, say by ebook Title?
I don't have a T-1 but if I were you I would try the following.

This may not be what you want, but for the x50 line of Sony devices I use the blue plugboard below. I would try using the following 2 metadata plugboards and see what happens. In theory it should sort by author first, then series and title. I'm unsure, but you may have to change the box you checked in the Device plugin?

Format: device_db
Device: PRST1
Source Template: {author_sort} {series:| - | } {series_index:05.2f}
Destination field: authors


Format: epub
Device: PRST1
Source Template: {author_sort} {series:| - | } {series_index:05.2f}
Destination field: authors


The blue one updates the T-1 database the second updates the metadata in the book for those times when the T-1 chooses to reset the database based on the book info.

If you choose to try this it is best to set metadata management to Automatic management. This can be found at Preferences - Sending books to devices.

Good Luck.
