Also, there's a way to maintain the tag orders without marking the box Contains Names? Asking because when I mark it separate everything with an ampersand (&) and this mess up the relationships that are platonic (it separate them).

FFF doesn't have an easy way to do that. But it does have a complicated way.

This works for me, but read the comments and try to understand it; I make no promises you can just paste it in your config and have everything work.

## could be under [archiveofourown.org] instead, but I believe there are

[defaults]

# create a couple new metadata entries
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,romships,platships

# label them (used with titlepage and logpage)
romships_label:Romantic Relationships
platships_label:Platonic Relationships

# copy standard entry ships into them
include_in_romships:ships
include_in_platships:ships

# only include / ships in romships and & ships in platships.
# & because HTML
add_to_include_metadata_post:
 romships=~/
 platships=~&

# optional: add romships and platships to the titlepage 
# inside the ebook.
add_to_titlepage_entries:,romships,platships

# Set romships and platships to your custom columns.
# change #romshipscol and #platshipscol to match the 
# lookup names for your custom columns
add_to_custom_columns_settings:
 romships=>#romshipscol
 platships=>#platshipscol

# don't sort ships, romships or platships
keep_in_order_ships:true
keep_in_order_romships:true
keep_in_order_platships:true

Note that there's a checkbox at the bottom of the FFF config settings Custom Columns tab "Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini to override", that must be checked.

There are a number of wiki pages that explain more about what the settings above mean. See:

It is probably my settings for FanFiction.Net are stuffed but can anyone please help?

See FAQ Why am I having errors downloading from fanfiction.net?

ADDENDUM

Asheron: While testing metadata settings for Calibre columns, it helps a lot to have setup a Saved Metadata Column and use "Update Calibre Metadata from Save Metadata Column" mode. That way you're not hitting the site every time.
