OK, I got a PRS-650 and decided to Calibre exclusively.

So I set up a new column called disporder as stated (using the option of Text column of keeping series-like information). I have several disporder names that I want as collections, with the series number to have them in the right order. And under Custom Metadata I get a drop down box for Disporder and a Number field for Disporder Index.

I go to Preferences - Plug Ins - Device Interface Plug Ins - SONY Device Interface. In the bottom box, for the column that I want turned into Collections and I have tried #disporder, disporder, Disporder, and #Disporder. And I get NO collections at all.

I have tried Manual and Automatic for Metadata Management.

If I put series, #disorder into the field, I get collections based on the series, but not on the disporder.

So why doesn't this work?
