The special field “all” can be used to select all fields. Only has effect in the text output format.
The first line (the switch) is an either or choice Use the Red or use the Green.. Not both
Code:
calibredb list -f author_sort,title,isbn,last_modified --sort-by series

I take it then, that no spaces are used between options. The problem I have is that it is not clear how to separate options, what tags start new options. I can't believe how many things I tried that didn't work. Maybe the software could detect an attempt at something such as -'input-default' and either suggest the correct format, or just USE it and do the correct thing? Software that simply refuses to funtion, or tells you 'you are stupid, you did it wrong' without telling you what is right, is just a waste. I have spent many hours trying to figure out the secret to command lines, when it would have been so simple to document it in the first place, and even easier to recognize correct commands with incorrect leadins or separations and either do the right thing, or tell the user what the hell is wrong.
