As just one example, I use the title field as a unique identifier for my photos (so photos with various names are all united as "the same" photo). This is the suggested use for the title field in Adobe's xmp specification. (see the screen grabs above for the title values that I use).

However, Adobe does not allow a column in the metadata selection panel for title, nor does it allow sorting by title, both of which would be very useful to me.

When I set the title field, it is written into the xmp sidecar for all my raw files. So, to your plug-in, my raw files appear to not have a title field. This means that I cannot search, nor sort, the title field in my raw files using your plugin. If I was using dng files (and so not using sidecars) it would work fine. Using LR's built-in tools it works fine, because LR consults the xmp sidecar files for raw files. However, even though your plugin offers features I would love to have, I can't use it because it doesn't see the title field for most of my files.

Does this make it clear?

Best
