Not sure I understand what you are saying here.

The metadata management setting matters a great deal. If it is not on automatic, then sync_booklists is not called with the updated metadata, collections are not resorted, and collection renaming is turned off.

FWIW: I think that the non-automatic settings aren't useful, but others clearly disagree with me. Getting this functionality worked out in the early 0.7 versions was very painful.
