It's still true that extracting the first letter of a string is not that hard, the problem is that everyone wants start with a different bit of string - you want author surname, someone else wants series, I'd prefer publisher. Solution - Save to Disk with a template - which I assume is what you use.
You should be able to add books from such a structure via the Add books from directory tree option that assumes the leaf nodes have ONE book.

Hey BR,
Since I'm no longer backing up the Calibre Library but a copy of it with better organization, I'm not too worried. :-)
My last backup had the books of each author in the author directory and not in separate subdirectories. I've changed that now so I won't have this problem in the future (he says with hope :-) )
I'm surprised that you'd want to sort by publisher - what do you do if an author changes publishers? Or the publisher starts a new imprint and the author moves there?
