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?
I think it is expected. very few things can handle a biased sort like the Calibre gui does.
FWIW I make {series} into a collection and do NOT put it in the plugboard term.
As a matter of fact, I dont even use the plugboard with my Aura2.
I just configured the driver. Index does not show (and I just noticed ). Kobo uses a Database. I will play, but making Series into a collection is good
