I'd suffered from this as well.
Just forget about 'useless identifiers' - as I did.
You can of course erase them, but this is tedious.
Plugboard entries may help you. (Preferences - Metadata Plugboards)
This determines how files are saved in your devices database (not in the file system, this is another option but this doesn't matter).
I'm experimenting with this, still, but with progress.

For example:
{series:||: }{series_index:0>5.2f| | - } {title}

When you point that expression at destination {title} - the {title} field in the data base at the goal is substituted with this expression:
'Fourth Monkey' becomes 'A 4Mk Thriller: 01.00 - Fourth Monkey'.
So when you search after 'Author' -> 'Title' you get all your books from this author in this order.

Plugboards control how your files are saved on your devices data base.

I'm sure there are several more threads about plugboards on which you can indulge.
Have fun!
