Old thread, but some good info, I'm still trying to get my metadata updated and the short story collections are always a challenge. I figured out how to do the multiple authors, now I think I'll go back and add story lists to the comments.
The issue I still have is getting the books to sort correctly. For example, my Bolo book collection- it started as a series by Keith Laumer, and includes short stories and novels by various other authors. If I set Calibre to sort by "series" then all my series are all sorted out of the 'authors' at the bottom of the book list. If I sort by author, then the Bolo series gets scattered all over the place. If I add Laumer, Keith as the first name in the author sort column, the Bolo series sorts together, under Laumer, Keith- but in a non-sequential order. This problem also applies to a lesser extent to other series with multiple authors (like Rama)
FWIW, I read the dates while reading this and thought you resurrected a month old thread instead of 2 years!
