I too like to get things right as I add, rather than fixing things later when I've forgotten what might have lead to something being wrong. To that end I add books to an Intake library, where I do what ever it takes to get the metadata straight, convert to EPUB if needed, and then move the books to the target library with calibre's Copy to library tool. As a result the Intake library is usually empty, or nearly so, and anything in there is 'unfinished business'.

BTW: glad you worked out how the xxxxx_sort fields work, when I read post #5 I was wondering how I was going to explain that. Much better that you worked it out for yourself.
