Is it possible to sort my books by 'File Name', not 'Added Order' by default?
Yesterday I used the tread 'Send to device template' (E-Book Software - Calibre) to be able to send 'series' and 'series_index' from Calibre to my PRS 650.
Works like a charm; thank you very much for that little piece of info! Thanks to the 'series_index', I now know which book is next in line. But, only when I look at my titles sorted by 'File Names'. When I look at a collection (a series) of books however, the titles are sorted (in default) by 'Added order', not by 'File Name'. Of course, I can sort them by 'File Name', but this option 'doesn't last'. When I go to another collection, go read a book, or come back later, the default sorting always goes back to 'by Added Order'. Is there a way to change the default sorting to 'by File Name', in stead of 'by Added Order'? |

Take a look on top, right side of the display and touch there to choose your order criteria.

There is a setting in Calibre (under Preferences --> Tweaks) called Specify how SONY collections are sorted. You can use that to change the default sorting order.

And, if you don't use calibre for sending your books, what do you have to touch?

Hi GMRabelink in order to help everyone and get input from everyone these conversations need to be in the main forum.

I also always have my Metadata management set to automatic, this way just connecting the device corrects the metadata on the device and under the device interface plugin you should have author_sort for Author unchecked.. |

It finally worked!
Turns out I needed to update Calibre to the most recent version... I was still using version (something like) 0.8.13. With that older version of Calibre, I couldn't combine the format 'device_db' with device 'PRS505'. Calibre kept coming up with an error-message: The chosen format wasn't supported by the device. So I used 'epub' as format, since all my ebooks are epubs. After updating to 0.8.21, I'm able to combine 'device_db' with 'PRS505' and everything turns out exactly as I would like it to be. Thank you very much for your help! |
