Brilliant info thanks everyone.
I located the .lrf files manually as 'search' on my Vista PC did not find any files with that extension. I made sure that folder properties was set to show all file types everywhere but it still could not find them.

However I have just imported a book into Calibre, edited the author’s name metadata and exported back to the 505 with no problems thus achieving my original aim of getting the ‘By Author’ sort to work properly by sorting on the author’s surname instead of first name.

There is already a ‘sort’ piece of metadata with the surname first but it seems that the Sony ignores this.

Many thanks to all of you. You were quick and very helpful. Much obliged.

Regards,
Chris
