This ability already exists. Read this sticky post, specifically the General Metadata spoiler. Also, if you use this make sure you duplicate the plugboard expression one pointing to the title field and one pointing to the title_sort field. Attached is the one I setup for my kids PRS300.

My The Lord of the Rings collection on my device now looks like this

LotR [0.50] The Hobbit
LotR [01] The Fellowship of the Rings
LotR [02] The Two Towers
LotR [03] The Return of the King

But in my calibre library the titles are untouched

The Hobbit
The Fellowship of the Rings
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

Good Luck.
