question about metadata in content server

beejsbj · 11-21-2019, 01:01 AM

so currently i have a few custom columns that are set up and show up when i look at my content server. but the order random, and idk how you order the book details metadata order.

i looked at the book template in sharing over net but i haven't touched it and its already showing me the custom columns without those lookup names in the template. so im assuming theres some other thing in play here?

Preferences->Look & feel->Book details the setting there apply to the server as well.

that didnt do it really, like the positions changed but they dont match the order i set them as.

and my problem is the custom column stuff, like i have "read", "date read", pages, word count. and in calibre they are set as read, date read and pages, world count. but in the server list when viewing from my browser or from my phone, date read and read have other stuff in between them. and word count is above page count.
