Metadata: author

huebi · 05-12-2011, 06:11 AM

When i'm entering

Brown, Dan

in the metadata dialog, Sigil is creating

Code:

<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Brown, Dan">Dan Brown</dc:creator>

This makes my Sony 650 make the authorlist sorted by firstname.

When i'm entering

Dan Brown

Sigil is creating

Code:

<dc:creator opf:role="aut">Dan Brown</dc:creator>

which sorts my list by firstname, too

How can i get my list sorted by lastname? I do not want to have an additinal tool fixing that.

Ask Sony to fix their reader and obey the "file-as" attribute.

Other than that, you could edit the OPF file to say:

Code:

<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Brown, Dan">Brown, Dan</dc:creator>

but that's misusing the metadata fields.
