(MDE = metadata editor?)

It would help in the sense of making it less obscure, especially if a tooltip or otherwise explains that it is automatically generated based on the book's first language.

It would not help to fix the problem that a single series can have several series_sort, or that a wrong series_sort cannot be fixed.

PS. An editable series_sort could also allow a single series with multiple unrelated names (sometimes a publisher changes the name of a series but keeps the old numbering).
