Further, sorting collections on the Kobo can be obtained via setting sort:Series (provided you had made the uploaded books part of some series in the appropriate series column).
So, for my understanding, what kind of automagically sorting is actually discussed here?
the first connection ends with the Kobo doing "processing" (I assume this reads the books OPF).
That make the actual DB entries on the device.
Until that happens, there is no place for the extra data to be put. Which happens in the second or later (eg Update Metadata) connections.
