The other one is, can I sort the books at any way to filenames?
I got a lot of PDFs who the informations are not stored 100% correct inside and the sorting is not correct then.

1: Folders
drmaniac, the Collections system on the Sony Reader works quite well as a folder mechanism. Open up your Sony eBook Library, select 'Help', and then go to 'Managing Content'. In 'Managing Content' select 'Grouping Books (Collection)' to learn about how Collections are used.
I find grouping all the books by one author together very useful. When one opens turns on the Reader one can then sort by Date, Title, Author or Collection. Of these, I find the sort by Collection the neatest variant.
2: SD Cards
From my experience, having the Sony Reader try to select from 1,000 or so books on an SD card is a waste of time and energy. The Reader does not have the processing power to behave like a computer, so why get it to do so? Far better also to conserve battery power for reading rather than sorting etc.
A better way of managing your book collection if you must carry 1,000 books with you at any one time, might be to have a series of SD cards sorted alphabetically by Author. In effect this will give you a Collection within a Collection system. SD cards are now so cheap that this is perfectly viable.
For myself, if I am travelling I invariably take my laptop with me and this will hold my library. I keep 100 or so books on the Sony Reader (I find this manageable and fast) and if I want to read one on my laptop, I simply upload it and bob's your uncle.
3: PDFs
I'm afraid I have no experience reading these on my Reader. I use the laptop for PDFs as I prefer the greater processing power, and screen size.
