Hi

This question might be very simple... or not.

The Kindle Paperwhite displays the author as "Firstname Lastname" (but it does sort on the last name), while I would like it to display "Lastname, Firstname" (and of course, keep sorting on the last name). I've already ticked "Use Author Sort for Author" in Calibre's options. That may actually not have been neccesary: Author and Author_Sort are the same. Both are "Lastname, Firstname".

It seems the Kindle is detecting the comma, and reversing the name back to "Firstname Lastname" or something.

Is there a way to get it to display as I want it to?

I'm already using plugboards to get the series information into the title. Maybe it's possible to do something similar for the author display as well.

Thanks
