It varies, so you'll need to be more specific. When metadata is changed, the metadata.db SQL database is updated and the metadata.opf file is updated for that record. Updating the database may cause certain SQL triggers to fire, and that may generate sort fields, cause the records to be moved (if title or author change) etc.
