I have tweaked "auto increment series index" so it doesn't try ordering the books; it used to mis-order them.

Has this worked for anyone else?
You can use bulk mode Metadata: Search and replace to move data around

If you start with a search
series:false

Then the overwrite issue become easier to manage.

BTW if screen real estate is your main issue: Click the column header: Hide

You can also drag the order (or use Preferences: Add your own columns to control order or show)

If you want a Quick look: Tap 'I' (then you don't need the details pane open)
