I was finally able to get the books to load to my nook with the proper subfolder by configuring the device with the template language but they still appear in my nook library in no particular order (not even alphabetical by title).

I've tried restarting my device and computer and have un and reinstalled calibre to no avail. I've also double checked to make sure the series name matches all books and there are no articles in my test series "Immortals after dark"

My current template language is {author_sort}/{series_index}/{title}
After configuring my device with that the files on my nook show author>series title>series number the folders are in the proper order but in my nook library on the actual device the books have no apparent order.

Anyone have a fix for this? Not super tech savvy so the for dummies version would be appreciated.
Try this as a send to device template.
{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} - {title}

When I had a nook touch and used folders I used to use this
{tags:re([\.],/!)|!|}/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>5.2f| |-}{title}

But both these will work for browsing by folders only. If nook scans and uses the epub internal metadata. You will also need to use metadata plugboards to add series name and number to the title.
