well no - that's what the Calibre author sort field is for.


so in calibre I expect to see Phil Rickman as the author not Rickman,Phil. same as what I see on Kindle for PC home page.

but I expect the sort to be on surname, which it is in both programs

- "Show books by author " in K for PC sorts it by R for Rickman but the author name is shown as Phil Rickman.
so I want calibre to import first name last
name to author field and last name,first name to author sort field. It does the latter OK already but not the former. when importing via Kindle for PC
