Officially, this cannot be done, as the Kindle uses the comma to recognize "Lastname, Firstname". It'll swap those, and remove the comma, but it will STILL sort on Lastname. I find this annoying.

Use this plugboard in place of the one Booklover6 gave you to sort-of-fix-it:

Code:
{author_sort:re(\, ,_)} {series:|(|} {series_index:0>2s||)}
It'll do this:

Code:
Title of the book
Lastname_Firstname (Series Name 01)
Or, of course, combine Booklover6's plugboard with mine, if you prefer her formatting for series and index

Code:
{author_sort:re(\, ,_)}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s| - | }
Result:

Code:
Title of the book
Lastname_Firstname - Series Name - 01
