I also have problems with the names of Calibre outputs. I've tried to play with the regex, but I'm not good at it.
I want all my books to be in this format:
Name Surname - Title (year)

Calibre thinks differently, and it will interpret the title as author name, and/or change my title to put the author at the end.
So I went do Adding books and made my regex like this:
(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+)
Still this wasn't enough.
Then I went to saving books and made the expression like this:
{author_sort}/{authors} - {title}

Still it didn't help. What am I doing wrong? Can someone please give a helping hand? I'm renaming them all one by one and going crazy!!!
