Thanks to you both; I really appreciate your help, even if I don't quite understand it.

I've used the internal settings on the T1 to sort by author's name, and it does that. But it sorts by author's first name, not the last name. Does the advice above make it sort by author last name?

I suppose I'll have to summon up the courage to actually try for myself, so two more questions
- Do I need to have the T1 attached to my computer when I call up calibre and go through the steps described above? I know this is a dumb question, but that's my level of understanding
- Will the change affect the books already on the T1 - only a handful at the moment - or will I have to delete them and install them again?
