I'm using metadata plugboards to adjust the title field.
Currently I have 1 definition:
anyformat:any device = <some template> -> title

For a particular device, say KOBO, I want to make a different definition:
anyformat:KOBO = <some other template> -> title

Both definitions are saved, but "anyformat:any device" is always the first one and during saving I get a message that there is already some existing definition. This is possible due to the fact of "any device" in the existing definition.

What I want to do is to have 1 definition for, say, KOBO, and 1 definition for any other device.

My question: What is the order in which the definitions are applied? Will the KOBO definition ever be used/found as the very first definition found for "any device" applies already for any possible device including KOBO?

How to accomplish this?
