One test that will tell us what is happening: create a standard text custom column and see if CC "sees" it. If it does then we know that calibre and CC are passing the column information. Next try a "Column built from other columns, acts like tags" and see if CC sees that. If CC sees the standard text column but neither of the "columns built ..." then we know my suggestion won't work.

The above experiment would also point at a solution, albeit somewhat clumsy. You could create a standard text column then use Bulk Metadata search/replace to populate it. Use: RegEx mode, "Template" as the source, the above template as the template, (.*) as the search expression, \1 as the replacement expression, and the name of the text column as the destination. This S&R will fill in the column with the correct series sort.
You nailed it. The built from other columns is not working on iOS.

Thanks for the workaround.
