I can answer that one. This is the Metadata Plugboard used:
Code:
Format: device_db
Device: PRS505
Source Template1: {author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s}
Destination Field1: authors
Source Template2: {series}{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title}
Destination Field2: title_sort
Most plugboards prefix the Title with some form of Series/Index combo. This one actually suffixes the Author with the Series/Index info. Although it seems a bit weird it does have a couple of benefits:
- On the Sony the Title info on the top line is in that large blocky font and Series - index - Title often runs off the right edge of the screen. The Author info on the bottom line is in the much smaller font and so there is more room for Author - Series - index.
- The Home - See All - by Author actually works better, for books in a series, when you want to see all books by Author/Series/index/Title (I know you could also use the "special" Collection All_by_Author to achieve a "perfect" result).
Here's a screencap.
