If I use the default order, frequently the book displayed first is something other than the book I'm actually looking for. This is the main reason I update the metadata individually, and not in bulk, because, if I update in bulk, I usually end up having to go in and change all the metadata back to what it was to start with, and then do an individual download anyway because the first book found is not the actual book being updated.
Am I missing something somewhere, or is there a way to set the sort order permanently, instead of having to change it each time I download metadata?

Hope this makes sense...
Same reason I also do book by book

You CAN customize each enabled metadata source for what they supply (cherry pick .
You can also set priority for Cover sources
Preferences: Metadata Download for those settings
