Science Fiction\Anthony, Peirs\Adept Series\ Adept Series 01 - Split Infinity.lit
Science Fiction\Anthony, Peirs\Adept Series\ Adept Series 02 - Blue Adept.lit
. . .
Science Fiction\Anthony, Peirs\Incarnations Series\ Incarnations Series 01 - On a Pale Horse.lit
to recap I want Calibre to store files as genre\author (last, first)\Series\filiename including series number\
Most important is ln,fn followed by series.
I have tried changing the add books preference and by manage authors but I would have to edit every author. It seems with such a powerful program having the author's listed as last name , First Name would be easy. For me at least it is not.

You could use the Look and Feel preference to set your 'Genre' tag, while importing just those folders in a single Genre.
