This is a bit complicated, but what I want to end up with is the following directory structure on my Android device (an Icarus):

Author sort / Series / Series - Series Index - Subseries - Subseries index - Title Sort

So for any one author, the top-level folder is named Author Lastname, Author Firstname. Inside is a folder for any series with the output above. Non-series titles should be listed by Title Sort under the top-level folder obviously with the series information suppressed.

Example: Mercedes Lackey has written and co-authored several series, one of which is considered a composite series (Elves on the Road comprises the Doubles Edge, Diana Tregarde and SERRAted Edge subseries), plus I have some stand-alone titles. (It's slightly awkward because the SERRAted Edge series includes titles not written by her.)

What I'd like to see in the output is the following:

(top level folder) Lackey, Mercedes
(series folder 1) Elves on the Road
(title) Elves on the Road 1 - Doubled Edge 1 - This Sceptr'd Isle etc
(title) Elves on the Road 8 - SERRAted Edge 1 - Born to Run etc
(series folder 2) Obsidian Trilogy
(title) Obsidian Trilogy 1 - Outstretched Shadow, The
(title) Standalone title 1
(title) Standalone title 2

I'm not familiar enough with the send to device options and plugboards to be able to create this from scratch; does anyone have a recipe or can point me at a step-by-step guide to setting the preferences to achieve this output?

The other question I have is to do with updating the metadata on works already on the device; occasionally a stand-alone work will get a sequel some years later. Short of deleting the title from the device and resending it, is there a way to get the metadata to change? As this would involve changing a stand-alone to a series, is it possible to do this automatically?
