What I have done is taken a series that is on the device, made the collection name match the series name, but the Order Series Shelves is empty. Is it mycollections or just collections? Also, when I update the metadata via Calibre, all of the collections I have made (both in Calibre and on the device) disappear, which is making me think I have a setting mixed up someplace.

The "Order Series Shelves" option looks for collections on the device that match the series names for the books. And the series info has to be on the device. If you look at your books on the device and they show the series name and number under the title, and these books are in a collection that uses that name, the "Order Series Shelves" option will find them.
As you are doing book and collection management in calibre, you probably want the following options set in the KoboTouch device configuration:
- In the shelf column include: series
- "Create Bookshelves": checked
- "Delete Empty Bookshelves": checked
- "Set Series information": checked
Save the configuration and then disconnect the device, and reconnect. At this point, the driver will do the shelf and series management for all the books in the calibre library that are also on the device. After this, try the "Order Series Shelves" function.
If the list is still empty, then we need to do some debugging.
