Sometime recently, Calibre (at least my installation, and I have updated) started altering a book's Series when being sent to a device. It's changing it akin to the default Author Sort rules; that is, it's moving the article that begins the series' name to the end of the series' name.

In Calibre, it will list the series as "The Lord of the Rings" but when I go Preferences > Sending books to devices > Template editor it shows that when it calls $series, it's outputting "Lord of the Rings, The"

Previously it's always just copied the Series as-is, and I can't find an option anywhere that governs this. In looking at the template variables, I see one for "$series_sort" but that's not what's being called here and if it IS called, it returns nothing (since I don't know where to set that data). I even use "copy" for $author_sort because I just want things to look normal and not be out of order.

The relevant portion of the program is:
Code:
strcat('books/', $author_sort, '/', $series, '/', $series, finish_formatting($series_index, '0>2s', ' - ', ' - '), $title)
Is this intended behavior? Am I missing something?
I don't use Send to Device, but maybe this Tweak is pertinent?
