So, I want to send books to my Asus Memo Pad 7 in a specific format.
I want:
First Name [space] Surname [hyphen] series [space] series number [hyphen] title
so I get something like:
J. F. Rivkin - Silverglass 2 - Web of Wind
I wrote a template of:
{author_sort} - {authors} - {series} {series_index} - {title}
But all I got was:
{title} - {authors}
What am I doing wrong?

First, in my opintion you get out of your template
Rivkin, J.F. - J.F. Rivkin - Silverglass 2 - Web of wind
I'm not sure how you get the author the way you want it but for the series you should change the template to
{series}{series_index:| | - }{title}
because then you will have no [hyphen] and space between the series-index and title if there is no series-index. It basically says 'if there is a series-index make 1 space infront of the series-index and space/hyphen/space behind the series-index'.
Edit: You should do the same with the series because when you have no series you don't want any spaces or hyphens infront of it. So better write
{series:| -|}{series_index:| | - }{title}
And second: you made a new custom column with that template, right? Did you tell calibre to to use that custom column as title when sending to your device over a plugboard?
