Collections can be sorted by series. In a collection or author list, you have the same sorting and filtering options as in the main library list. Creating a collection for each series is a fairly common thing to do.
@Alan242: Other than that, @ps67 is pretty much right. There is no way to edit metadata on the device to set something like this. And the only thing close to a "reading order" would be to use a series. But, the series info has to come from Kobo, calibre or the seriesmeta script. The latter two need to be done when connected to a PC. They also rely on the metadata in the calibre library or book. Which again, really mean that you are editing them on a PC.
The only other way to do it is to use the "Date added" sort. This uses the date a book was first put on the device to sort. Sorting a collection like that would work. But, you actually have to add the books one at a time for this to work. My Kobo Utilities plugin in calibre does have a way to manipulate the "Date added". This was added before the series sort option was added. It changes the date added in the database on the so that sorting by this will put the books in the order desired. It probably won't do what you want at the moment, though it can use the published date for the order. I can modify this is someone has a good idea.
But, it does break the basic thing that you want to do it on the device. With that condition, there is no way to do it.
