I tested a few ways of entering of Charles Dickens. From mobils (spaces added for clarity):
Code:
Dickens, Charles: A Tale of Two Cities (D,C) (./Dickens_TTC_DcC.mobi)
Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities (D) (./Dickens_TTC_D.mobi)
Charles, Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities (C,D) (./Dickens_TTC_CcD.mobi)
Dickens Charles: A Tale of Two Cities (DC) (./Dickens_TTC_DC.mobi)
Charles Dickens: A Tale of Two Cities (CD) (./Dickens_TTC_CD.mobi)
Dickens, Sir Charles: A Tale of Two Cities (DcSC) (./Dickens_TTC_DcSC.mobi)
dickens, charles: A Tale of Two Cities (d,c) (./Dickens_TTC_d,c.mobi)
Dickens was not a Sir but I added that as a test.
See the attached screenshots in sort by author mode. The rules appear to be simple (but I may be missing some end cases):
- Sort order is from the Author text string, upper and lower case are equivalent
- YYY, XXX displays as XXX YYY
- All others display "as is"
