No, you don't have to do anything, Calibre will automatically detect your device. Someone with a T2 please chime in if I have put something incorrect here -
I will describe what I have done to Calibre to create collections -
Preferences - Metadata Plugboards - Add new plugboard -
format - epub
device - PRST1
source template - {author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s}
destination fields - author
save plugboard
add new plugboard -
format - device_db
device - PRST1
source template - {author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s}
destination field - authors
save plugboard
apply, close preferences.
You have to put both of those in to make it work.
Also go to Preferences - Plugins - Device Interface Plugins
Find Sony PRST1 and Newer Devices - click to highlight then select Customize Plugin. Under where it says Comma separated list of metadata fields to turn into collections on device - in the box there put what column(s) you want to create collections from. I use tags, so I just have tags in there.
One more thing - set metadata management to automatic. You do this in Preferences, Sending books to device. The other thing I have in there (not sure if it is there by default) is in that box below Save Template I have this -
{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
