A while back, you could sort on Series but that functionality was removed. What some people are doing is using a plugboard to add a series tag as part of the title to allow sorting by series/title.

For instance, you own all the Harry Potter ebooks. The plugboard would set the title to HPx - Harry Potter and the whatever (the x is the book number in the series).

Personally, I don't bother since search will locate series as well as titles and authors. I only have a few series such as the Grantville Gazette which is up to 66 ebooks, In Death which is up to 42 plus the interpolated short stories where it takes an annoying number of pages to display the series. Most of the other series are 1 to 2 pages which makes it easy to locate a book from the search results.
