Author sorting
Does anybody have any info on how the Kindle sorts the author field? It seems to be pretty random on mine. Sometimes it seems to use the first name, sometimes the second and once in a while the middle initial. I thought perhaps it was related to entries made with Lastname, Firstname, but it isn't even consistent with Firstname Lastname. I can't immediately see any rhyme or reason here. The titles sort OK.
Very strange. For example, I click on Sort by Author and get this:
Andre Norton
Arthur Conan Doyle
Simon Beckett
Bill Crider
Leigh Brackett
Stephen Brust
Charles Mathes
Aaron Elkins
Fred Saberhagen
I just don't see the pattern here. Is there a protocol for entering the info in the author fields that isn’t being followed?
