In my case, when I used View Manager to sort by the #readorder I had to put it in descending order to sort them to the top, and then the series numbering ended up overriding the other sorting.

For instance, I wanted my fanfics to sort by Currently Reading (composite psuedobool) > Reading List (series) > Last Read (date) > Last Updated (date). But because of the series numbering, any books on the reading list would end up sorting by the series order instead of the two date columns.

I just made a comp column to check whether #readorder was populated and then return "Yes" if it was and null if not. That didn't muck up my sort order.
