Use this plugboard i 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| - | }
Resut:

Code:
Title of the book
Lastname_Firstname - Series Name 01

Well that's exactly what I needed to finish! Thank you SO much for taking the time to reply! [karma to you!] The only little tweak I made was to change the series count to allow for .5 of series [and I only remembered this because I did it with my Sony too!]

{author_sort:re(\, ,_)}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>4.1f| - | }


Thanks again everyone who helped and I hope this can help someone else out!
