I used to do this and it was a great option, and I still use it selectively. Perfect if you only have one or two ereaders. Once I learned how to do plugboards, that was ideal as any ereader I load the books on will have the series name and number already there. Then, I only have to set it up correctly in Calibre. Your method was perfect when there was a conflict. I set Calibre series in order based on Fantastic Fiction which is typically based on publication. My late sister preferred to read the books in order of timeline - so sometimes they varied.
