You have to keep in mind that there are two different systems involved.
The
keep_in_order_characters:true is a parameter in FFDL's personal.ini and effects how FFDL treats the metadata. The best way to see if FFDL is re-ordering your characters is to look at the characters line on the title page inside the epub.
If they are alphabetized there when you don't want them to be, I might be able to help with that.
Whether
Calibre alphabetizes the characters after set by FFDL is a separate matter.
I suspect that BetterRed was suggesting using that code snippet to effect how Calibre is displaying your characters, possibly as a second display-only custom column. I don't know that part of Calibre well enough to comment off hand. But it's after FFDL has finished with the data.
(Note that as you've quoted it you have 'smart' quotes: (
‘,’ vs
',') I don't think those work in actual code.)
