I can't really help here, but one question is where will you be accessing the books from? If it is on a local network, you can run the calibre server. If it is from anywhere around the world, the solution is probably different.

What I want to do is to make sure on all the devices it shows as:

{series}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title}
Example: Codex Alera [02] Academ's Fury

and of course sorted by author as well

Is this possible?

If it is possible what are some ways it can be achieved?
Are you talking about the file name or the title in the metadata?

If it is the file name, then you will be using either send-to-device or save-to-disk to get the book where you want to read it. Both of these have a save template. You can set this to use the appropriate metadata elements as part of the file name.

If it is in the metadata, then you can use a metadata plugboard to set the title. These can be set differently for each device, or you can use a common one.

The template used for both of the above is roughly the same. The plugboad etc template thread has plenty of examples including one that is exactly what you want. This is:

Code:
{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}
