I have a kindle paperwhite 2015 and do all my ebook management via calibre. I want to use the plugboard to put the rating (star amount) in either the title as a superscript to make it less conspicuous or in the author field. Is there a way to make it a superscript? I've searched and can't find anything on it and my programming skills were tasked to the max just to be able to write my plugboard in the first place, lol.

Code:

Also, I have {author_sort} going to the author field.  I'd assumed that if I added another value, the output would place it after the author's name.  So, {author_sort}{rating:| *|} would become 'First Last *3'. Instead it's 'First *3 Last' and I'm not sure why.

I've tried everything my extremely limited understanding knows, but I can't get it to put anything after the author name, it always puts it in the middle.

Sorry if I've used the code tags wrong, I didn't want the bit of code to make a mess...

Thanks for any help!
