In sony-device preferences, - collections, add '#disporder', (without quotes) and apply seetings
now send the books to device, a new collection for 'Authors Name' will have your sorted ordered books.

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?
