O.K., I started over again, with a virgin Calibre folder, and imported books from a backup. It worked perfectly! Thanks so much DrOhh.

And a big thanks to Kovid!

I wrote too soon. Still a big mess. It is funny, I can go to an old backup I made, and all folders are in perfect alphabetical order by author's last name. The latest Calibre folder is chaos, most authors listed by first name. Unfortunately, the older backup, on Dropbox, is missing, many, many books that I added since moving to Dumptruck to get more space.

I think the lesson is to back up locally.
