That's completely impossible. That function fiddles with a date. If has no affect on the series info in the books. In fact, the ordering done is based on the series info that is already in the database on the device.

I assume what you are doing is sending new books to the device, ejecting the device and letting the device import the books. Then, connecting again and running the "Order Series Shelves". And what is actually happening is that when you connect the device again, the driver automatically updates the series information in the database on the device. This happens because the device does not read the series info from the books. It has to be added when the device is connected again. The default options in the driver configuration are to check and update as necessary the series info on each connection. It can also update other metadata that has changed or was not read by the device.
