Kindle Touch 7th - Author field editing

Hi Guys!

Im new to the forum, i did give a look around but im unable to find what im looking for, i hope you can help me!

here is the situation: im the happy owner of a kindle touch 7th gen, im using calibre to move some mobi (and a couple epub) books to the kindle, after converting them when necessaire.

I would enjoy to display the Title of the book in the Title space, and i would like to display the string "Author - Series 00 (pubdate)" in the second line just below the Title line.

I did try to mess around with the metadata plugboard, but sometimes it gives no effects (no idea why) and sometimes its come out a bit messed up

example: Tom - Jack Ryan 02 Clancy

I think i did solve the issue by manually putting the informations about the series manually in the author field, but for some reasons it still mixes up the words, probably because of some settings of the author sorts, plus its not the ideal solution...

so... Would you be so kind and explain me which settings should i use to display on the kindle touch 7th gen the books as follows

Title
Author - Series 00 (YEAR)

and doing it without manually changing the data in the fields?

thanks for your help

Luca
