I have no idea as I haven't been in a library for a while. But, I did wonder what they were doing while I was writing my post.

You are using as criteria: Author + Series + Number + Book. Author doesn't appear in Kobo sort.
It does in the Author sort. All the sorts have multiple elements in them. If you sort by file type, it will order by file type and then title within the same types. The author sort does title within the authors. Which is what a library or book shop will do. Well, a book shop effectively use genre, author, title. And from what I see, they consider title to includes the series.

What happens if two series has the same name? Are we getting mixed series?
That is correct. You will have to rely on something else to tell the series apart. But if that is a concern, then the same title for different books is a bigger concern.
