Hi All,

Getting the hang of organising my books with Calibre now, and having fun editing metadata.

I know this is a very small thing, but I can't decide how to store author. Some of my books use Lastname, Firstname, and others are Firstname Lastname.

The sorting is not a problem because I let it automatically set Author_sort.

So I'm curious which method do people prefer, is there one method that is more correct?

I have ordered a Sony PRS-T3 reader, if that has any impact on which method sorts better once they are transferred to the Sony?

Cheers

ps I read an equal amount of Fiction and Non-Fiction, as well as my personal PDF library of technical documents.
