Confused about meta...

[j_cocker]

Wife like all books from the same series to be listed together on her Kindle Paperwhite (when sorting by title).

I therefore rename the book names using Calibre before uploading them to the kindle. I do it by adding a prefix to the book name - something along the line of: "(series_name #X) book_name".

Problem I have is sometimes, despite everything appearing in order from within Calibre, the prefix does not show on the Kindle... I checked the the meta details using Calibe for 2 books - one that shows with the prefix on the Kindle, and one that doesn't. Both show the title to have the prefix...

I am a little confused...

Any idea what am I doing wrong?

No idea what the problem is, but I would suggest for setting the title in the first place, that you explore the wonderful world of Kindle_and_Calibre_Plugboards.

You will probably want to use the following template:

{series:|(|}{series_index:| #|) }{title}

But you can find a lot of help getting all kinds of custom templates at the thread linked in the wiki, which I may as well just link to now: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=100949. I hang out there myself sometimes.
