The background to this question is that:
- I don't use the Sony reader software for the PRS 650 or T1; I use calibre.
- When I was using the Sony 650 I set up calibre so that it sorts ebooks by author's last name, but on a Sony T1 the same ebooks sort by author's first name - ebooks by J.R.R. Tolkien come before ebooks by Lois McMaster Bujold.
- My wife is likely to take over the 650, and to use my calibre library to store her books, so if at all possible I want to leave the settings the same.

Is there a way to get the books to sort by author's last name on the Sony T1? I know this is a Sony problem, not a calibre problem, but would like to know if there is a calibre solution.
