You can use more than one column name in this field. They need to be separated by a comma.

I configured the extended driver to map the kobo collection name to my custom column.

When sending the book to the device, almost everything is ok
- collection on the device is named "as I want"
How are the collections named?

- the series info is correct ( an extra "update meta data on device is sometimes needed)
BUT:

The books inside a serie are not sorted according to the serie number. ( I tried changing the sort order in the UI, I also tried to modify the preference file... no way...)
The Kobo devices do not have a way to sort by series. Any way of doing this means using some other data. That means either changing another metadata field to include the series info, or using something like the date added sort.

I tried the kobo utilities plugin ( but the dialog box is empty, it doesn't detect any serie to sort ....)
See my post above for an explanation of how this works. And why it doesn't in FW3.3.0.
