What I have set for the plugboard is:
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
and the tweak for Sony Collection sorting
Code:
sony_collection_sorting_rules = [(['*'], '#coll505sort')]
where custom column #coll505sort is defined as
Code:
{author_sort:titlecase()}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s} - {title}
As for remembering WHY... trickier
I remember doing quite a lot of faffing to arrive at something which worked for both the 505 and the 650. As you know, every Sony model seems to use slightly different sorting rules.
I think I added the title_sort plugboard designation to make the 505 work but also so that the "special" collections 'all by author' and 'all by title' worked as I wanted them to.
The author_sort plugboard designation, that you found you needed for the 950, isn't required for the 505/650.
I also remember it was necessary to make sure that in
Prefs - Plugins - Device Interface - Sony - Customize, the box labelled 'Use author_sort for author' was
unchecked.
The last thing I remember is that I needed to add the titlecase() function to the collection sorting field so that my calibre catalogs (which have author, calibre) sorted with other authors beginning with uppercase 'C' in the 'all by author' collection.
