But, I have no idea how sorting comes into it. There isn't a sort option for the subtitle. And now it sounds like you populate the tags with the series name. Just putting tags in the Subtitle sounds like it would do what you want. And I have no idea why you don't know where you ebooks go. I'm must be completely missing something.

When Calibre was first written, it was called libprs500. It was written for the Sony Reader PRS-500. The Series column you understand. But when you wanted to create a collection and didn't need a series number you used the Tag column. That was where you put in a collection name such as Science Fiction.
I know you can still populate the Tag column and the Series column. But when the eBook isn't part of a Series, you populate the Tag column to manage the collection. By default, if the Series column is empty, the Series field in the Kobo database remains empty.
What I want is to use the Tag field to populate the series Series field in the Kobo database is the Series column is empty. This way when sorting by series, books that are standalone that say belong in Science Fiction get sorted by series correctly.
I hope this makes sense to you. It would be the same as Series without a series number.
And now that you know the history of the Tag column, you now know why I say to use the Tag column when setting up what columns to use for collections. Because Tag already exists and that's what it was used for from day one.
