column sorts get biased by the previous sorted column. IIRC the tweak defaults to 5

BTW series vs authors would never work well with my collections. Way too many series that have different or multiple (or different combinations) of authors. I treat authors of series as a 'nice to know' bit of info (last item in a file naming template so as to not mess up a series sort.
If I am interested in which author participated, I use the Tag browser/search:
eg: show me only books by Author X that were part of any series:
authors:"=X" and series:true
