bulk metadata - 2 issues with series

any easy solution for either of these issue please:

1. many book series are found with the series data embedded into the title i.e. the title syntax is something like "XXnn - title" where XXnn is a series abbreviation & series number.

this causes metadata lookups to usually fail, unless the XXnn is manually removed beforehand in each case - then replaced afterwards ( It's a useful format e,g, for Kindle )

so a bulk metadata update is not possible - any workaround for quickly doing 10+ books ?

2. the auto number series seem to look for the highest number ever used then continue from there. so once a book has been added out of sequence there is no way to correctly auto - number later additions to the library

is there any way to select & sort a series in the main pane then force a series re-numbering to be re-applied ?
