theducks,
thank you very much for your kind reply.
But I'm not sure I understand what you mean: if I save books on disk, they do not keep the metadata they have on Calibre? But the option "Update metadata in saved copies" what is it for?
Every book I have "edited" in Calibre has kept all the changes after having saved it on the disk, including cover (I have often changed it), authors, comments, and so on. So in my experience save on disk and then copy with drag and drop with usb cable works perfectly. The only wrong thing is the title metadata because it does not keep the article before the rest.
As for the "passion" of the alphabetical order, I imagine that this is a personal taste, a choice, and so I would like to do mine. On my reader there is the possibility to sort (alphabetically) the titles, it is a possibility that I would like to use, why not?
On the other hand, I do not understand what advantage there is with hundreds of books ordered like this:
"The blackberries"
"Carnival"
"The ducks"
"Elephant"
"These figures"
