In "Preferences->Advanced->Plugins->Device Interface Plugins->Sony PRS-T1 And Newer" I have ticked the equivalent boxes that I had ticked for my PRS-300. But, when I view the books on the ereader sorted by Author, all the titles are jumbled. They were in alphabetical order on my PRS-300. So I want:
Smith, John My Life
Smith, Larry A is for Apple
Smith, Larry B is for Banana
Smith, Larry C is for Cat
Smith, Larry D is for Dog

and instead I have:
Smith, John My Life
Smith, Larry C is for Cat
Smith, Larry A is for Apple
Smith, Larry D is for Dog
Smith, Larry B is for Banana

Sony Bug? Calibre Bug? Or have I just messed up somehow?
Sony Bug. I encountered the same thing.

When it sorts by certain fields, it seems to hate authors that are too long, and it seems to focus strictly on the first/last name, and will sometimes ignore stuff that looks like a middle name. Titles have similar problems (too long and the sorting starts to fail).

Although in Sony's defense, it really isn't a bug in their eyes. The author fields aren't really meant to have the author information embedded in them and Sony wrote the T1 firmware with that assumption.
