Author sort won't change
I am trying to sort out my Calibre eBook library. I have the standard setting of:
Author - Firstname Lastname Author sort - Lastname, Firstname Some of the books, no matter how I change the metadata (individually, bulk, Manage Authors), won't come out right. For example, I have around 50 books by James Patterson. I can get them all to Author - James Patterson Author sort - James Patterson in which case they appear under J rather than P or Author - Patterson, James Author sort - Patterson, James in which case they appear properly under P. but the Author Name is inconsistent with the rest of the library. How (if at all) can I get them to all come out Author - James Patterson Author sort - Patterson, James? Most of the other problem ones seem to involve books with multiple authors. I don't really car about secondary authors, but taking out the secondary authors from the Author and Author sort field doesn't seem to make them behave any better. I have searched the Forum for clues / solutions / explanations but haven't been able to find anything that solves my problem (though author sort issues seems to be something many people have difficulties grappling with). Thanks in advance. |

No, I don't think so.
It is set to: # Use author sort in Tag Browser categories_use_field_for_author_name = 'author' |

I found the other tweak (I am using the alternate setting) Code:
# Author sort name algorithm
author_sort_copy_method = 'invert'
author_name_suffixes = ('Jr', 'Sr', 'Inc', 'Ph.D', 'Phd', 'MD', 'M.D', 'I', 'II', 'III', 'IV', 'Junior', 'Senior')

It was right in front of me
I knew there was this setting, but I had trouble locating it to point at it the first pass.
When SET, it becomes BOLD and floats toward the top of the list.. Too Bold, I guess
