Hi,

Don't worry, I don't want to change anything if it ain't Calibre itself doing the changing. This has been driving me nuts for a couple of weeks now and since I know the penalty on bringing up the subject of 'library folder structure' I kept looking...but now I'm at the point I gotta ask...

I may have this completely wrong but I seem to remember there being an option to specify whether author folders get created in LN, FN order or FN LN order in a library. So far all of the libraries I let Calibre create use FN LN, where as every where else in Calibre I use LN, FN. So I am thinking that may be the fixed default.

It's not a big deal, but if I want to quickly see if I have books from a specific author, I usually just look in the library folder using Explorer (its always open) and I ain't always got Calibre running now that I'm chasing cops. And with about 600 authors, if the folders where in LN, FN order, it would make visual scanning a bit faster...

Like I said, if there's a setting that controls this, great, otherwise no big deal.
