I setup a metadata plugboard for the KoboTouchExtended driver using this as my source template.

{series}{series_index:0>5.2f|| - }{title} > title_sort

It mostly works, but the series are sorting alphabetically by title rather than series number. The series titles stay together but if an author has more than one series, they aren't alphabetical either. So the results look like this when sorted by author:

Daughter of Atrocity
Sirona Cycle - 2

The Jump Point
Sirona Cycle - 1

Nullifier
Fire and Rust - 6

Refuge
Fire and Rust - 5

Am I doing something wrong or is this expected behavior?
