But then I would be putting wrong data into metadata for single books.
If I have two books in italian and the third in english (I actually have, for a series), and I put into metadata for this third book that it is in "Italian, English"... Then I would be saying that the book is in italian, while it isn't. It would show up in searches I do for books in italian, and that is wrong.
I understand that this is not a bug but the intended behaviour - Teriza's suggestion already made it clear. But it doesn't feel "correct" to me from the logical point of view.
If books are considered to be in the same series (and they are, for calibre shows them all together), then they should have the same series sorting because... again, the series is the same.
I understand that it is tricky to decide which rules to follow; a workaround would be to let the user customize it like you do with the author_sort field; and yes, I understand that it is also hard to introduce the series_sort field into the code now... fine.
But I think the way this subject is handled is not completely right.
