No it can't. Mobi files specify their metadata via OPF files, which, in turn, are based on the Simple Dublin Core Standard for metadata. If you look at the standard (see the link) you will not find "series" specified as a metadata item. Hence using a Calibre plugboard to append series name and number to the title is a perfectly reasonable approach.

Perhaps a good idea to do a little research before complaining!
