I just prefix a short version of the series name and number to the title, if applicable, which usually makes them sort nicely in "order" i.e.:

Darwath #1: The Time of the Dark

or

Darkover series: The Planet Savers
Darkover story: The Word of a Hastur

if the series is so rambling and written-out-of-order that assigning numbers would cause a headache. For something sufficiently convoluted I might possibly add in the year written or what "era" of the series it belongs to, say:

Darkover series (1962): The Sword of Aldones
Darkover series (Ages of Chaos): Stormqueen!*

Hope this helps, and welcome to MobileRead!
