The "Collections column" only takes column names. You can't use a template there. That's why I suggested using the custom column.

Do I need to configure this somewhere else?
As suggested I created a custom column but the column display instead of author - series I got author first name, series, author last name, so I can't use that.

The template I suggested for the custom column was "{author_sort} - {series}". That is going to produce something like "Butcher, Jim - The Dresden Files". The way that gets handled by the driver is to split the value at the commas and create a collection for each part. That's working as designed and changing it would probably break a lot of other peoples collections. It might work to change the column type to "Column built from other columns, behaves like tags". I can't think what that will do if there is a comma in the values produced. And I can't test at the moment.
The nearest I can think of quickly is "{author} - {series}". That should produce "Jim Butcher - The Dresden Files", but probably doesn't give the sort order you want.
