Help With Calibre To Alter Displayed Kindle Name

I have a large sideloaded library stored on my Kindles that I want to organize by the (genre) tag stored in Calibre. Since Amazon forces collections to be manually organized for sideloaded books, it's not feasible to do in my use case.

I have been using Calibre's catalog feature for my organization on the devices but it is cumbersome to maintain and use. What I would like to do instead is to use Calibre to add the genre tag to the name which Kindle displays on the device. Then I could use Kindle's search function to display books by genre.

How can I do this? Thanks for you help

Calibre can create collections on some versions of Kindle. The ONLY way on a deregistered/unregistered Kindle.
I find the Kindle built in GUI on both DGX and PW3 to be painful to set up collections.
It's also trivial for Calibre add contents of one column to another.

Moved to the Calibre forum, where you're more likely to get an answer.

You can use a metadata plugboard to fiddle with the title when it is sent to the book. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=100949 for some examples.

Yup, the metadata plugboard would do it.

For example, this changes the title to the following (assumes a tag-like custom column #genre for genre):

Prelude to Foundation [Sci-Fi]
Artemis Fowl [Fantasy, Children]

Code:
format: any format
device: KINDLE2
template: {title}{#genre:| [|]}
destination: title
