Right Now it's like this: Author->Series Name->01. Book Title Subfolder-> 01. The Book Itself.

I want it to be this: Author-> Series Name->01. The Book Itself

You know what I mean?

I tried: {author}/{series}-{title}/{title}
Don't really work. There will be a lot of the same Book series Name.

Anyway, Just wondering if it's possible if not I guess this will do. Thanks so much! Really big help.
Just stick {authors}/ or {author_sort}/ in the front of my previous sort string.

BUT I strongly submit you do not want to do it that way

Books with Various Author combinations break your series up by those combinations. (some Baen series (anthologies excluded) have 4 or more combinations of authors)

I hang the Author onto the last Title .../{title}-{author} so I know which authors were guilty for this book
I file non-series books by Author in a subfolder "00NoSeries" which is a dummy series in the series list
