MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-650 [calibre] How do I set it up so I can sort by author - Series

Ah no, this is a misunderstanding of what I meant.

Use this as 'Template' in step 3 (Define how you want to SORT Sony Collections)

Code:

{author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>5.1f} - {title}

and use this as 'Source template' of both Metadata Plugboards

Code:

{author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>5.1f}

Using your example, you should see on the PRST1
1st line: Twilight
2nd line: Meyer, Stephenie - The Twilight Saga 001.0

If it's still not working then perhaps you should try doing it in 2 stages:

Revisit the instructions, check every step and use exact same settings as I used for the PRST1. Connect PRST1 to calibre. Once its finished its connection routine, disconnect. Make sure all the series info is visible. Does your reader Booklist now resemble the PRS650 image (without the rolodex initials down the righthand side)?
If 'no', I'm stumped
If 'yes', you can go back to the steps above and replace
Code:
```
{series_index:0>2s}
```
with
Code:
```
{series_index:0>5.1f}
```
in all the templates.

P.S I'm glad you're going out. It's 2:30am here, I'm off to bed.
