You solved it. I was using Calibre Companion (I know, I should know better) to get the books from Calibre , then sending them to Mapleread SE before deleting them from cc. I looked at the title on CC and the plugboard info wasn't there, so I thought I was incorrect and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. So, once I sent it on to Mapleread, I got what I wanted in Mapleread, which was the point. Again you have saved the day!

Each device APP has its own way of presenting metadata.
Ipads (tablets) don't natively display BOOK Libraries. Each app extracts the metadata from someplace. for this to work, you need to know the WHERE.
My first device use the FILE NAME. If that is yours: Use the DEVICE DRIVERS Template (not the plugboard) to set the name (and be prepared to have long ones trimmed)
OTOH The Plug board crams the added values into a designated METADATA Field. Your app may use title-sort (or something else).

Please Specify the APP so folk who do KNOW this, can help.
