sort is basically an automatically generated version of title that ignores leading prepositions. You shouldn't have to worry about it, it should be automatically updated when you change title.
pilotbob's right, I'm talking about the database field.

Why dont you use the bulk metadata dialog to edit series and the metadata dialog to edit ISBN?
You're certainly right, I could use the dialog boxes, but that takes a lot longer. I have a rather large set that I'm importing, and it's just easier to edit it in a table view, and not all the fields are visible in the calibre grid. I'm not asking to re code the app, that wouldn't make sense just for my needs.

Also, I'm trying to better understand the database layout. I've been trying to document the db structure & relationships (I know they're likely to change).
