First, hit Published
Second, hit Series
Third, hit Author

The books will then be sorted by author, with the books in publication order and the series books at the end of each author. What's happening in a very few cases is a book without a series will not be in publication date order, but rather will be between the other no-series books and the series books, as if it has a series title that is blank but recognized (or 00000). If I leave Series out of the sort (i.e., hit Published, hit Author), then it sorts appropriately in publication order. It is only when Series is added to the mix that it sorts incorrectly.

Am I explaining it more clearly now? Sorry for the confusion!
