It helped me, so maybe it will help others, and I think it will work on all x50 models.

User Guide:

1. Connect reader.
2. Start the application.
3. Update the Reader's drive letter in the path. (first time only)
4. Press 'Fetch Books'.
5. In the 'Position' column write numbers starting from 1. I usually stop at 3, it's enough for Home screen.
6. Press 'Change Order'.
7. Disconnect reader (safe remove from windows/calibre/reader library)

I keep all my books on internal memory, and this tool only works on one drive at a time.

I don't think I will make other changes to it, but I can pass the source code (C#) if someone is interested.

Enjoy!
I am having difficulty following your instructions. Start which application? Update the reader drive letter where?

Regards,
Bill
