Tags are the folders now. The advantage of tags is that a file can be in multiple 'folders' when it has multiple tags. In this case calibre has a field named Series where you can add the name of the series, and next to it is the number for the book's place in the series. Tap the E key to bring up the metadata editor to add the series information. Back in the main list view right click on a column title to add the Series column to the display. Click on its title to sort by series.

I do the opposite of what you're doing and remove the series stuff from the title and only have it in the series stuff in calibre's metadata.

If you have a Kobo it will use the series stuff.
