I'm tempted to add setting the text index using a template to the driver just to see what happens. I think the driver doesn't read/use that field (not near my computer so can't check). The change would be easier than it was to add collection management via template.

From a note from a while back when I asked @davidfor why the two fields, his response was that, as far as he knew, one was used for display purposes and the other was used for sorting when sorting by series. I'm not sure about the next part of what I jotted down which seems to say the text field is converted and placed in the real field by the Kobo firmware. If this is correct, it might make a bit of a mess of converting to numeric for say, 1 - 4. I never got around to testing this.
