I then proceeded to try and see if I could order (or rather, sort) by file name, and no, you can't. I was already set to "recent", and trying "author" and "title" helped nothing.
I then found this thread which is EIGHT YEARS OLD, and I had my "ooohhh" moment after suspecting that already.

Really comforting to notice that in 8 years time they couldn't be disturbed to frigging add a "sort by file name" function! That is just stupid to a whole new order of magnitude.

Not likely I am installing Calibre, moving all the books from the kindle back to my pc, and learn how to use the wildcards to update the metadata for that before copying them over again.

I'll just settle reading all the series that I neatly have ordered by filename, in a seemingly random order.

STUPID KINDLE SOFTWARE.
I will say this... Your problem is USER ERROR! It has nothing to do with the software on your Kindle.

It's your fault for picking a book thinking it was a different book. I've never seen the book list where books get mixed up. The only way that would happen is if you had incorrect metadata.

Get over it and go learn how to use your Kindle.
