I don't fully understand the syntax below, & how that # gets to be at the front of the 2 digit number.
I did send a stand-alone non-series book as a test and that's fine, for that I see title and author only which is how I want it.
{series}{series_index:0>2s| #| – }{title}

See
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/template_lang.html for the documentation on writing templates... but the tl;dr is that the | #| will
prefix the series_index with a "#" and the :0>2s| will
pad the number itself with zeros -- something which is required for proper sort ordering.
The article actually shows three variations on the template, the third one will use "[01]: instead of "#01" which I personally think is nicer. )
Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title}
i guess that to do this outside of calibre e.g. via the
send-to-kindle email the book as a document option, I do have to edit the book title before emailing it . I doubt I will ever need to do that though.[/QUOTE]
Plugboards will specify which formats and devices they work for
if you use "any device" then it will include the send-to-email "device" as a destination target, which means the plugboard will automatically apply there as well.
Assuming you use calibre's send-to-email feature instead of Amazon's send-to-Kindle desktop app.
