Am I missing something? Does the kindle have series functionality which presents all the books in order?

No such feature on Kindle. I have not checked lately, but Kindle for Android used to have manual sort order for collections. But not other platforms.
Sometimes the Kindle Store will know that something is a series and will list it out in order and it will show which books are in your library and you can (on Kindle) download the title from there. But this is not always the case.
I’m certain that Amazon gets regular feedback from customers requesting this feature (at least I have done so a few times). Eventually they may get around to it.
Personally I try to create as few collections as possible (basically just track reading status). Too much work, and I’m uncertain there would be any benefit for me to do so. I have 1800 books in my library, most of which I have yet to read. Even if they were ‘organized’, it would not help me decide what to read next, or find things more quickly. I would appreciate some built-in views of my library that I didn’t have to maintain myself. As one example, there could be some auto-collections that show which books I have not started, those I’ve s started, and those I’ve finished.
