First, I apologize, I suspect the answer to this may exist floating around here, but I'm out in a place with very restricted internet access so I can't readily browse right now...
I'm trying to get a PRS-T1 to sort nicely, as my 350 does.
On the 350 I set up a plugboard, setting author_sort to a compound author-series-index with leading zeroes in the series index.
Similarly setting author but without the leading zeroes (and other cosmetic differences)
When looking at a series collection, the books appear in the desired order, with the author-series[n] displayed on line 2.
Likewise in the all-by-author collection. I think that was using sort by added order.
I'm not sure what the sorted by author result was. I think it was by author name (as displayed), because I recall being annoyed I couldn't have both a proper sort, and the letter tabs on the side (the tabs only show when sorting by author).
Tag collections are either sorted by title, or, frustratingly, displayed author instead of author-sort.
(The problem with sorting by the displayed author instead of by author-sort is that the series gets out of order without leading zeroes)
Now on to the T1 ...
I copied the plugboard, additionally duplicating the two templates into an epub plugboard to inject the metadata tweaks into the epub to deal with the T1's sporadic database regeneration.
Within a series collection:
Sort by added order seems to work sometimes. Possibly until the T1 regenerates it's database?
Sort by author seems to sort by the displayed author (so with no leading zeroes, series can be out of order).
Within all-by-author:
The sorting within an author appears to be by title(?) whether sorting by added order or by author.
In both device plugins I have "use author sort for author" unchecked.
I am using automatic metadata management.
No SD card.
So my question is:
Did anybody get this to work on a T1?
("This" being to consistently sort on author-sort as defined by the plugboard, or do something equivalent.)
