The OP was over 8 years ago. The current conversation, in which you have already made 3 non-helpful posts began with the post quoted below. The 3rd paragraph begins:
"Not likely I am installing Calibre"

I then checkd if the file names were botched, but instead they are corretly named "author - order number - title".
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.
