For every Collection there is a line stored in the Kobo eReader.conf file e.g.
Code:
LastLibrarySorter_shelf_filterByBookshelf%28Thriller%29=sortByAuthor()
If I use the GUI to sort this Collection by Title the conf entry seems to change correctly to
Code:
LastLibrarySorter_shelf_filterByBookshelf%28Thriller%29=sortByTitle()
which means it gets remembered.
Yes that's what I meant, thank you! I must have messed up the config file permissions or something when it wouldn't remember the sort order for me.

Yay, thank you! (And now I have to decide whether to let my Nova update and use this workaround, or to just stick to the factory firmware... I wonder what changed in 4.8.11090...)

Another way would be to write a database trigger to use the correct format when the books are first added. It shouldn't be to hard, so I'll leave it as an exercise for someone
