How to put a series in read order under collections

I have been entering/sideloading my Dad's old sci-fi pulp/paperback books into my Kobo Glo (4.19). With the present author (Poul Anderson,) he has 3 series (Flandry, Psychodynamic, Technic). I figured out how to create a Collection for the current books (Psychodynamic) on the Glo directly. I did not see an option to have this Collection sort by order they should be read in to achieve plot/history chronology. Is this possible directly on the Glo without using Calibre?
I did a search on the Kobo reader forum for "Collection" and spent 1/2-1 hour going through recent results (limited to this year since I do not know when the software changed to Collections tab) and found nothing but information about Calibre.
I am basically entering books alphabetically by title, which means the Collections order could change each time a book is sideloaded. I do not mind manually changing numbers each time directly on the Glo. I want to be able to change this information directly on the device when I travel as I would not have access to my computer. I am absentminded and usually forget to update information on the computer or even write myself a note to do so.
