I agree it's the most correct way to sort. Bit i still prefer to see the info i want to see on the kobos library. I tend to use the following name format as rule:
Author - Series (if applicable) - book number or year - book name

That's a fairly major thing to miss from your first post. When I read it, I assumed you were doing it in calibre and trying to sort there. I couldn't actually work out how you were doing it or where you doing this.
Firstly, in calibre you are much better to keep the various metadata attributes as they are intended. You can do some fiddling when sending the book to the device.
On the device, if you are using the native Kobo application, then it supports series information. It will display, sort and search the series info. Unfortunately, the way the device works means you need to send your books to the device, disconnect to let it import the books and then reconnect to get the update.
If you are using KOreader or something else, or still want the details in the title, then you can use a metadata plugboard to set the metadata to what you want during the send. There are some threads with examples that you can use for this.
