So here's my problem:
Sometimes I have trouble making my Kobo download the content of my "series" column on Calibre as series on the device, and treat it as such. I have solved the problem several times by deleting all my books from the device and downloading them again but by doing it I'm deleting my reading progress from the kobo, it's pretty annoying to have to "mark as read" half of my books again and again...
I think I could prevent it by understanding what's going wrong, anyone can help me?

I don't know if it is the place where I should post it, but I have another annoying problem with my series:
Let's say I have the series "A Pink Cat".
Usually, when I sort alphabetically my series, I'm gonna have something like:

"A Blue Cat [1]"
"Green Cat [1]"
"Green Cat [2]"
"A Pink Cat [1]"
"A Pink Cat [2]"
"A Pink Cat [3]"
"A Red Cat [1]"

Well for some of my books, it's gonna be like:

"A Pink Cat [2]"
"A Blue Cat [1]"
"Green Cat [1]"
"Green Cat [2]"
"A Pink Cat [1]"
"A Pink Cat [3]"
"A Red Cat [1]"


It doesn't sort every book the same way, how can I solve it?
The series sorting should just work. It shouldn't matter what firmware you have if the device has the series sort option. But, were are you looking at the sorting? In the main book list, a collection or inside a series in the new Series tab? The latter works a little different from the others, but, if one worked they should all work.

Are the series name and index are showing in the library lists on the device? With the correct details.

The simplest answer that I can think of is that the names of the series isn't quite what you think. If one of the characters in the series name is actually a unicode character that just looks the same, it could do this. Though it would probably mess up the sorting in calibre.

Would it be possible to run calibre in debug mode, connect the device and post the log? And a screenshot from the device? The latter is to let me see it in case there is something strange.

And it is always good to know the versions of things involved. So, the firmware and calibre version would be good.
