Your right, but I disagree with you. Shelves are just shelves and have no smarts associated with them. They do have an extra sort sequences which is by date added. The fact that you have shelves that only contain books of one series just means you decided to set them up that way. Of course, Kobo could add function to do this with a shelf. But I hope they don't.
They don't need to do this as the series info is elsewhere. I would like them to present a series list that looks and works like the shelf list but is automatically built from the series info. As much as I would like to see this, I don't expect it to happen. But, I do hope to see a series sort option added in the appropriate places. Adding it as a sort for a shelve would be natural.
While I mention my wishes for a list, the other I want is an Author list. Again, it would look like the shelf list, but with an entry for each author and a count of books by that author. Again, I don't expect to see it, but I can hope.
