It's
NickelSeries.
Also, to add to what @davidfor said, this should be one of the stablest and most future-proof Kobo mods. The only way it'll stop working is if Kobo significantly refactors their database handling abstraction (which hasn't happened for as far back as I can remember, and is highly unlikely) or if they completely overhaul their toolchain, in which case it'll stop working without causing further issues.

Not if the books already have series metadata. A lot of newer third-party books come with EPUB3-style series metadata included.

If you literally mean on the device, my seriesmeta tool should work if you've already imported the books without NickelSeries or Calibre.
If you're fine doing it manually and are able to work with SQL, sqlite3 (@NiLuJe has a binary in his tools) can do it, but I don't really see any advantage to doing it that way.
