Hello all,

I've recently started using calibre to organise my Library before transferring books to my Nook, it works great but I seem to have run into a speed bump.

I created a custom field called "Read" where I can place a flag on whether or not I've read a book (the nook doesn't seem to do this), the flag I've placed is "zzz" (you'll understand why in a second).

I've created the following plugboard;

Code:

epub:NOOK_COLOR = 
([{#seriesyear:|| }{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}] -> title), 
([{#read:||}{author_sort}] -> author_sort)

What I had hoped the above would do is place "zzz" before the author_sort field when passing books to my device, which would in turn make any books I've read go right to the bottom of the 70~ pages of books my nook currently holds when I sort by author.

It doesn't seem to do that though, the books are still left in the correct author_sort :s I know the plugboard is working fine as the series information is being carried through to the title.

Do I also have to apply a change to the author name so it's treated as a separate author?

Thanks,
Ryan.
