I don't power off very often, but was experimenting with the new power off times patch.

Then there the series update in the device list. Again, that updates the series info, but, again, doesn't affect the collections in any way.
The last is "Order series shelves", and that is fairly pointless for the Clara HD. This was a hack put before Kobo added a series sorting option. It fiddled with the timestamp used by the "Dated Added" sort so that the books in a collection would be in series order if this sort was selected. This is the only function that I can think of that affects the sort order for a collection. It can set the sort order option for a collection to "Date added" so that the book would be in series order. With the proper series sort that is now on the device, and has been since before the Clara HD was released, there is little point in using this function.
Other than that, the plugin doesn't change the selected sort order of collections. Testing on one of my device, I don't see an issue with setting different collections to use different sort orders and the powering off. I don't remember there being issues with this in any recent firmware.

Yes, Order Series Shelves. As you say, there is Series sort on the Clara. But I have to select that manually for each collection the first time I look at it. So I (mistakenly) thought that using the plugin would automatically set all collections to Series sort.
So I seem to have discovered a good side effect of what I did. Running the plugin task seemed to have no effect. But afterward, all I had to do was go to any collection on the Clara and set the sort to Series, whereupon ALL collections were set to Series!
I just tried another power down and this time the Series order did stick. This is after it did not stick several times on two Claras.
Kind of interesting?
