I see, and yes you are right it IS predictable. I only now realized that the books in italian and spanish are mixed between each others, but they respect their series index, so you are right that ordering is correct.
Yet it doesn't feel logical, to me, that books in the same series are treated differently depending the language they're in. I might choose to have the same series in different language, yes, but even in that case I might prefer to have it listed with an "order by series_index" (if you pass me the quasi-sql language) rather than "order by language".
And more than that, it feels very counter intuitive to me that it is internally treated like two different series, but externally it is showed as only one series. I don't know how easy it is (I suspect not much, because the algorythm should start considering not only the book it's sorting, but also others), but in case there is more than one language, calibre should automatically use only one for sorting the entire series...
Anyway... Thanks for your help, at least now I have understood what was "wrong" with that series.
