Kovid,

Thanks for chiming in. Your statement repeats what I've found elsewhere - the on-disk storage hierarchy cannot be changed. I understand and agree with (at least some of) the reasoning behind that decision

That said, given this is an oft-requested feature and that the author folder is based on the author's name in the metadata, is there some other impediment to incorporating LN, FN naming into Calibre? Is the reasoning not to based on the difficulty of determining a which is the first and last names from a simple string (in imported metadata)? Or is there something else I'm missing?

As I understand it, what I did by copying author_sort to author was *change* the author, correct? And that if anyone were to change all my author fields to be LN, FN, that would be the way they would be stored on the disk?

I've seen a number of posts that indicate a comma in their author directory names. Is the comma something that has been recently replaced with an underscore? Is that user-adjustable?

Thanks.
