Can anyone please explain why this recipe isn't working for me?

Metadata Plugboard:
format:mobi
device:kindle2
source template1: {series_index:0>4.1f|| - {title}}
dest field1: title
source template2: {author}{#subseries_index:>2s| - {#subseries}| - }
dest field2:authors


OK, now the first template works just fine.
Heck, even the second template works fine when incorporated into the first, (minus the {author} bit of course).

My expected output for the second template is:
AuthorName - SubSeriesTitle - 1

What I end up with no matter where I put the {author} tag is:
AuthorFirstName - SubSeriesTitle - 1 AuthorLastName


Looking at it on the KT the books get sorted by SubSeriesTitle alphabetically.
Then by subseries_index, albeit correctly, then correctly by the title template.


So, an example of what's displayed on the KT if the above confused you:

25.0 - A Kingdom Besieged
Raymond E. - Chaoswar Saga - 1 Feist

26.0 - A Crown Imperiled
Raymond E. - Chaoswar Saga - 2 Feist

27.0 - Magician's End
Raymond E. - Chaoswar Saga - 3 Feist

17.0 - Talon of the Silverhawk
Raymond E. - Conclave of Shadows - 1 Feist

And so on and so forth...

For what it's worth, any books NOT having a subseries are displayed as expected via the above templates.

I mean like;
Robot Dreams
Isaac Asimov

and

01.0 - The Early Asimov - Volume 1
Isaac Asimov
Also,my Calibre library displays everything just as you would expect. I mean, Series then SubSeries in the correct order.


Can someone please assist?
