Hello,

I'm trying to setup a 2nd author column and I'm not sure how I should go about it.

I currently have two author columns in Calibre - 1 showing First last name, the other showing Last First name.

I'd like to add another showing a 2nd author First last name.

Currently I set my authors to only include original authors. For example - All Star Wars books are by George Lucas so I can sort by author and series and they all show how I want them. But, if there is a 2nd author, I use George Lucas and Others (which denotes a 2nd author but not who it is).

I remember vaguely that when I originally setup authors that is was tricky because a template was involved.

Hope the above makes sense. Thx
