There is a good reason not to put the series number in the metadata. Because it's possible it can change. It can also be different depending if you read in chronological order or published order. For some series those two orders will be different. Also, how do you handle numbering a book of short stories that have stories that fit in different places in the series? Too many variables and the publishers have enough trouble sending their eBooks off to India to get them made by the lowest bidder.
