Trust me, I have.

This is either a bug or a very questionable programming decision.

Allow me to demonstrate with the following example:

There are three "VIEW" options: "List", "Title Only" and "Thumb Nail".

There are five "SORT" options: "Date", "Title", "Author", "File Name", and "Latest Read"

On my Reader I have the book "The Grapes of Wrath" downloaded from Talebooks.com

I saved the file using the name "GRAPES OF WRATH, THE by John Steinbeck.pdf"

On the Sony Reader, it shows up as "Talebooks.com"

If I set the view option to "List" it will appear as "Talebooks.com" with the subscript "Talebooks.com".

If I set the SORT option to "File Name" it will appear as "Talebooks.com" with the subscript "GRAPES OF WRATH, J..". but only if I set the VIEW option to "List" or "Thumbnail"

If I want to SORT my list by any other method, (such as "Latest Read") it will appear as "Talebooks.com" with the subscript "Talebooks.com". Bad.

As I mentioned earlier, any PDF I create will have this issue, and the PDFs I save from my browser will show up in the Reader as "Untitled" by author "zmix"
unless I edit the author, publisher and title info in the PDF document itself before sending it to the Reader.

In conclusion: "File Name" is only considered a SORT option by Sony, and it is only visible when selected as a SORT option. Very very weird.
