If changing that has no effect, then do both title_sort and title. The plugboard would look like:
Code:
device_db:PRS505 = (
[{author_sort}] -> authors), ([{series:lookup(\s,#serinit,series)}{series_index:>2s|| - }{title}] -> title),
([{series}{series_index:0>2| | - }{title:re( ,_)}] -> title_sort)
Note that the re call is re(SPACE,UNDERSCORE). |
After removing the epub:PRS505 plugboard I changed the title_sort designation in device_db:PRS505 as you suggested. This had no effect.
I then also changed the title designation. As predicted 'The Hobbit' now sorts under 'T'. I've attached screencaps of the PRS650 sorting all books by Title.
