Thanks for the clarification; I must have misunderstood the instructions.

However, I am still confused about what the plugin does and how it interacts with the reader.

What I am trying to do is fix a bunch (quite a lot) on my reader where the author's first name and last name are mixed up. I am not sure how this happened in the first place; looking at the Calibre files, probably it's because some used the format for author as

last name, first name

while others use

first name last name

Also there was no consistency in Calibre files in the format for author sort.

I have now fixed the metadata in Calibre so all use the author field in the format "first name last name" while the author sort key is in the format "last name, first name"

I'd now like to push these over to the device, so sorted author lists make sense.

I used the "update metadata on device" function, and it seems to have worked on some books but not on others.

Is there some other way to fix this, short of wiping my library, or removing the problem books, and side loading them again?

Thanks,

Nike
