Calibre-server book format order
Is there a tweak or setting to select which book format format is assigned to the [Get] if a title has more than one format?

I have AZW3 books, EPUB books, and some books with both formats

For multi-format book titles, I'd prefer EPUB format for the primary choice for [Get]. It seems like AZW3 are the [Get] choice and EPUB is under Other Formats, but I couldn't find a setting

Sort of related question: what is the Books sort (seems the same as Title) and what is the Cover sort?

I believe the content server use the same rules as the GUI

I'm hoping the new server will have a View->Choose Format equivalent - hint, hint

@all - thanks


I should not have buried another question in the same post, but there are two sort orders that are not intuitively obvious

"Sort of related question: what is the Books sort (seems the same as Title) and what is the Cover sort? "

Thanks - it does, except that the field is also used for conversions, so I just know I'll be converting epubs to epubs instead of to AZW3s because I forget

Until there's two single purpose fields, I think I'm safer leaving the Preferred Output Format = AZW3

FWIW, Books sort 'seems' to be the same a Title sort.

I was just curious

Thanks
