Yes it is possible if you have the supporting metadata set in calibre:
The magik is in the templates.
slash means folder
{#mysection}\{authors} - {Title}
If you set your custom column: {My Section} to 1 of 2 values (Edu or Fict.
Keep the names short to avoid pathname issues with long titles) they will end up in those folders as set
The template language is very powerful (and can be mind boggling
), The simple form as shown on the Save to device configuration form is pretty strait forward.
This one (provided by chaley) is also for a folder based device (only 8 entries per screen). Note: the use of literal values (in blue)
Code:
program:test(field('series'),strcat(
substr(field('series'), 0, 1),template("-series/{series:subitems(0,1)||/}{series:subitems(1,2)||/}{series_index:0>5.2s}-{title}_{authors}_{id}")
),template("00noseries/{author_sort[0]}_authors/{authors}/{title}-{authors}_{id}")
)
What it does is sorts books into 2 groups:series and non-series
In Series, it breaks the series down by first letter into folders: eg S_series, then the typical sort
non-series books are filed in 00noseries folder, then by Authors Last initial folders: eg W_authors (I chose 00noseries so the folder appears at the beginning of the folder list on my device)
