Thanks for your help.

After I posted I thought of another test I could do to find out where the problem lay, which was to format another SD card and see if I could save books from the library to this card. I can, so I guess that there must be something wrong with the original card even though Windows 7 file check said there was nothing wrong with it and I was able to defrag it.

I then copied most of the books from the calibre library to the new card.

But now I have another problem; the books sort by Author first name, not by Author LN. I know they were sorted on the old card by Author LN, and I know I have not changed any calibre settings. But I don't remember how I set it up before to sort by Author LN.

Can I get calibre to sort on the SD card by Author LN? If so, how?
