Scott,

I'd be happy to have this piece done, but can not accomplish it.

Can you please confirm that

1) your options/Output/MObi/Box at "use author sort order" is checked
2) you have a plugboard that maps author_sort --> author_sort

and then you have a correct SORT but not the desired display on the Kindle. As I said, I'd be happy with that. I'll never be a Python expert, but would like to use Calibre.

BTW: on my system in the plugboard panel there is no Kindle 3 option (only Kindle, Kindle 2 and DX). I picked "any device" and any format.

Thanks a million,

Mixx

PS: I am still surprised that such an elementary need can be solved only by this much expertise. I admire everybody that can do it and wish it was much simpler (so that I could do it, too).
