Author Sorting issue w/Sony 505
In Calibre, I have the metadata set up the way I like it. It displays the author by first name and then last name, but sorts by last name. However, when I export the books to the Sony 505, it only sorts by first name.
Is there any way to address this, or do I need to go back into Calibre and manually change every book to display last name, first name? Thanks, Tom |

Ah well the sony firmware has a bug that causes it to ignore the author sort setting in LRF files, so yeah you would have to change your authors in calibre.

The frustrating thing is that I had noticed this initially, and had input all the authors in reverse order. Later, I got more familiar with editing the metatags and figured I had done it incorrectly the first time. So I changed them all. Now I get to change them all back. Sigh. Thanks for the explanation. I was sure I was doing something wrong. |

I also use PRS+ which allows you to browse by folder. The newest version of this upgrade (1.02) has an amazingly easy install. Using the browse by folders allows me to go to ///database/media/books/ this folder shows me all of the authors sorted by last name. See attached for example. |
