And what you have completely forgotten is that what is used for collections on these devices is configurable. You get to say. The defaults appear to be "series, tags".

When I am not sorting by collections, I usually sort by recent. But if I sort by series, it would be good if the books sorted correctly.
Define "correctly". As far as I can tell the series sorting is already correct. What you are proposing sounds absolutely horrendous and would completely screw up the sorting.

And an important thing: That is my opinion.

And for the record, the series sorting on the device, in calibre template terms, is:

Code:
{series}{series_index}{title}
Which means the non-series books are intemixed with the series books based on the title.

Is there a technical reason why this cannot be done?
Yes, there is a technical reason: I don't want to do it. And I think you would struggle to find someone who was willing to do it. If you can convince someone to add series to the metadata plugboards, then you will be able to achieve what you want. But, if you do, I'll ask you not to post a screenshot, as it would give me nightmares.
