I'm not at my PC right now but what many do is use a metadata plugboard to massage the book title as it is sent to the device.

I use one that prepends to the title an abbreviated series name and series index to the title, so for instance book 1 of Harry Potter becomes HP - 01 - Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.

There was a brief time that Kobo DID use the series info in a Book Title sort but unfortunately it was removed.
