I suspect that may explain what you are seeing.
I have it unchecked. Way to much of a control freak to let new stuff mix in automatically with stuff that I've already sorted. One goal with Calibre is to organize lots of stuff, including duplicates, while weeding out the more poorly formatted ones. I'd been downloading from Project Gutenberg for years before finding better formatted books here, so I have lots to sort.

My current problem is an easy fix. I'm more interested in knowing if there's something I should be doing or not doing to avoid this sort of problem in the future.
