The new collections are in the next release, made available through device customization, not tweaks.

What you (will) do:
- Open preferences, plugins, device plugins, sony.
- go to the collections box at the bottom.
- to enable the all-by-title collection, enter 'abt:Collection Name' (without the quotes). The abt: part tells calibre you want the all-by-title collection. The Collection Name part is the name that appears on the device; make it whatever you want (no commas).
- to enable the all-by-author collection, enter 'aba:Collection Name'.

The abt collection is sorted by title_sort. You might need to ensure that your device_db -> PRS505 plugboard sets the title_sort value. The aba collection is sorted by author_sort, then title_sort. As before, if you want something non-standard in these fields, use a plugboard.

For sorting, these collections use, in order:
- the author_sort/title_sort values set by the device_db->PRS505 plugboard
- the metadata values stored in calibre's library
The values set by a EPUB->PRS505 plugboard affect only the metadata stored in the book, and are not used when manipulating collections.
