Will edit the conf file as davidfor advised before, but I thought I'd leave a copy of the untouched file before I used Calibre for the first time, in case it helps nail down where the bug/feature is happening.

Just received a new Aura HD and reading through the various threads, noticed liked this poster that I too lack the SORT feature. I have read davidfor's note on how to correct this but not sure how to go about doing this.

Questions

1. How do I find my conf file on the Aura HD?
2. Once I find it - how do I edit it to make the necessary correction to get SORT added back as an option. I did note Post #176 or #177 which talked about downloading Notepad++. That seems to be an option for Windows, any option for Mac.

Last question: I have followed the instructions posted under the Shelf Mgmt section under the Kobo area.

I followed the instructions however, when the collections get onto the Aura HD, and I select title, it does list by title, but I would like it to list by series #. I used the metadata plugboard information and chose the following:

To modify the book's title to <Series> - <Number> - <Title> type
Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}

It is not producing the results I expect which is Series Name - # - Title of Book.

Also, when I delete the collection via the Aura HD and then re-connect the device to Calibre, it is still showing as On Device. Any thoughts on this?

Again sorry for the 20 questions but just need a little direction.


Here's some specs:

Running MAC 10.9.4
Aura HD firmware verison 3.30

Thanks for any help someone can provide.
