That's not what I see. If I mark the file as the cover, it is moved the the first file and is used by the Kobo device as the cover. But, the epub is opened to the first entry in the ToC.
If you are sideloading as a kepub, I think that works differently. They might always open to the first page of the book.

This way, the first time it opens a book, it's with the cover. I suggested this because many users don't know how to do it and just grumble about opening a book on the first chapter... |
The reason I have done the experiments in the past to find how the Kobos opened an epub was because of a discussion on why some opened on the cover and others elsewhere. I'd say it was about even as to whether people wanted it opening on the cover, or skipping the front matter and opening on the first actual text page.
Kovid: Is there are reason why the calibre viewer doesn't use the text semantic? It seems to always open to the front of the epub rather than this.
