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.
In fairness to Amazon, Kindles are primarily designed for reading purchased/borrowed books directly from Amazon.

When you reach the end of an Amazon-purchased ebook, the Kindle software automatically asks if you want to read the next title in the series avoiding the library sort issue altogether.

Kindles can read sideloaded books but that's not their primary function so I wouldn't expect Amazon to ever include a sort by filename option.
