Stupid sync flaw on iTunes/iPhone (maybe iPod Touch too)

I rip my DVD collection a lot and add the files to iTunes. When a movie has a long name you can't see it full in your iPhone, that's why i usually name each episode of series as Episode 01, Episode 02 (instead of FULL NAME OF THE MOVIE - EPISODE NUMBER)... and so on. Just to make it easier to select them for playing on iPhone.
The problem is that i have several movie series in my iTunes, and all episodes of these series appear sorted *by name* in my iPhone sync window, i.e. i see only a bunch of Episode names sorted by index number, and nothing else to identify which series they belong to, so i can't see which ones i need to check to sync with my iPhone.
It's more of a suggestion for Apple:
*Add ARTIST column to the iPhone sync Movies window in iTunes.*
Exactly - ARTIST, and not Album/Series name (which is more appropriate for Movies) - this is the second field you can see in iPhone, under the Name - put a Series name and its index number into this field.
I can provide screenshots of both iPhone and iTunes for this problem.

Yes, i did. Thanks again. Now i can see Series name in the iTunes sync window.
But still it would be nice to be able to check specific episodes i want to sync (clickable boxes next to each episode), not just Apple's 1-3-5-10 most recent/least recent/watched/unwatched options... Don't you think?
In fact, i don't understand why Apple didn't make a separate iPod/iPhone column in Library where you could check/uncheck files you want/don't want to sync. why does it have to be in iPod/iPhone window. I mean i understand why calendars, contacts, e-mails have to be where they are in iTunes, but since you already have Music, Movies, Podcasts and so on in your Library, what's the point of this visual separation...
sorry if it's not clear enough what i mean. i'm russian.
