title order
Hi,
Is it possible to sort books by their title in the same order used by Windows 11? If yes, how? Thanks. Sorry, I found the solution in a post by theducks: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=206347 Last edited by gianni_1; 12-01-2023 at 09:57 AM. |

Help!!!
Hi DNSB,
Thanks for your observation. Now I have a bigger problem, last night I accidentally changed the name of the authors of about 3000 books and I don't know if there is a kind of "undo" in Caliber or how else I can recover the situation. Now I have restarted the program and I hope I don't have to check one book at a time... Do you have any idea? Hello and thanks again... |

Ouch! Unless you have a backup, there is no "undo". I don't remember if there is a way to force calibre to re-read the metadata from an existing library entry but someone else may have a suggestion or two.

yeah, ouch.
I had thought of something like pasting the author_sort column from a database backup over the current metadata.db, but that would require some magic SQL skills and knowing exactly which books have had the author_sort modified. Audit Log plugin can undo some metadata stuff, but I think it can't do author column, and IIRC it can undo only one db change at a time |
