PRS-T1 Sorting options

Looking for a little help here. I've had the PRS-T1 for about 6 weeks now, and have been put off by the stock sorting method. I initially moved my ebooks to the device via Calibre. When I set it to sort by Author, all it would sort by was Author's first name. This doesn't seem to be a new problem, a search showed a couple other threads related to it.

So I found a fix via this other post here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=1818808

My current firmware is the latest - 1.0.03.11140
Calibre version is 0.8.31

Per the instruction on the other thread, I had to do both changes: the toggle in Device Interface Plugins (which by itself did not fix the problem) and then the addition of a line in the Metadata Plugboards. After this last change, the reader now sorts by authors last name.

The only thing now is that I'd like it fine-tuned just a bit. Yes, it does sort by last name, but past that everything is disorganized. For some authors I have well over 30 ebooks listed, and I have to hunt for a title which is not organized in any fashion other than author's name. Is there a fix which will provide a secondary sort, say by ebook Title?

Thanks for any help

Vic
