That is expected. As far as calibre is concerned, it is sending epubs. The extended driver is the one that is fiddling with the book and changing it to a kepub. And, from memory, this is done after the metadata plugboards are applied.

Of coarse, if you convert the book to kepub first and send that, the kepub plugboard is used.

edit2: Replacing comma-space by underscore makes the KA1 hang when going to the book list.
I have lots books by authors with underscores in their names. I don't see any problem on any of the lists with any of the sorting methods.

Using author:swap_around_comma() reverses "LN, FN" into "FN LN", but then the reader ignores everything after LN.
I can't think what you are doing to need "author:swap_around_comma()". "author" should be just "FN LN" in the metadata plugboard (but not the save template).

But, it looks like something has changed with sorting, so I'll have to have a play and see what is going on. Could you post the metadata plugboards you are using? That will help to make sure we are doing the same thing.
