To start
What is your goal?
I have a 950 but your 650 should react the same way.

Exactly what did you "just test?" Since using plugboards on the Sony x50 series works for everyone else you need to be very specific in what you're doing and what you're seeing.

How are you viewing the book titles on the reader? Is it via Home - Books - see all? |
Forget whether or not the media.xml is written to. Tell us what you see and what view you are using to view the list as jackie_w asked.
Putting the series index like you suggest at the front of a title has many downfalls. Sort by title all 01 series books are at the front (see attached). Sort by author the books are in the book added order (see attached). Sort by filename is closer unless the author has more than one series on your device.
Personally I use the following plugboard:
Code:
device_db
PRS505
{author_sort} {series:| - | } {series_index:05.2f} -> author
{author_sort} {series:| - | } {series_index:05.2f} -> author_sort
This plugboard gives you sort by title that is by title (see attached) and a sort by author that has all series by an author in order (see attached). Combine this with the following tweak:
Code:
# Specify how SONY collections are sorted
sony_collection_sorting_rules = [(['series'], 'series_index')]
And all collections created by series are in series order, even series by multiple authors.
