gah! I hate having to work around broken implementations - like ADE & Sony firmware - particularly when they're so slow and seemingly reluctant to fix anything.
Can someone tell me if the newer Sony model's firmware suffers from this bug? Do other ereaders see this?
Now that I'm aware of this I see many other instances of this in my libraries - Plato's works showing up with translators as authors, a collection of John Locke's works showing with the editor as the author, etc.
From what I can tell, the OPF standard requires no specific order to metadata elements. Unfortunately, if there is a de-facto standard being set that the first listed dc:creator is the "primary author" [that may be an overly-broad statement] it may need to be worked around until there is a fix in the standard [ie. a way to specify primary author.]
Can Calibre *not* re-order the metadata when it updates it? It looks like it's removing the original entries and then re-adds them at the bottom of the metadata section.
