Instead, what's happening is that whichever copy is the upper one of the pair in the list, is being designated as the "first" and so all the metadata in the second is being dropped. The meta data is NOT being merged, and I can't find a setting that allows it to be.

And, I can't figure out how to have the SECOND book in the list be the "first" selected, so I'm losing the well curated metadata.

I'm quite sure there's something I'm doing wrong, or a setting I've missed.

Help?
change the sort direction on Title Column

And, yes, this is the way it works. Not the First selected
