Instead of

What to do?
I don't use a Kindle, but, there are two Kindle drivers. The newer devices should be using the one called "KINDLE2" in the Metadata plugboard page of the preferences.

The plugboard you have in the first post is:

Code:
{series:||}{series_index:0>2s|: | - } {author_sort}
That should give something like:

Code:
The Dresden File: 1 - Butcher, Jim
I think the device is seeing that and redisplaying it as:

Code:
Jim The Dresden File: 1 - Butcher,
I think you will need to experiment. Maybe using the author will work better than author_sort. That should at least put the surname last in the generated string, which would put it first if the device is doing what I think it is doing.

But, maybe someone who uses a Kindle will have a better suggestion.
