The "Order Series Shelves" function doesn't have any way to use another series column. It could be added and shouldn't be that hard. I haven't really looked at this for a while as the Series tab removes the reason I originally did it. But, if I understand your Reading list setting, the series name doesn't match the collection name. Or at least I assume the collection will be "Reading List: Fanfiction" but the series is just "Fanfiction".
The firmware issue with this was that it uses date the book was added to the collection for the sorting. That sort wasn't working properly. I haven't checked that for a long time so I don't know if it works or not.
For your doing this using the reading status, you could create another profile with a different timestamp column. Then use that profile when restoring the status. That will mean you don't need to mess with the actual reading status of the books.
