The following is a small snapshot of the author level of my library.
@chaley - Must a down under thing, the book aficionados at my local bricks and mortar libraries (and their acolytes) wanted to keep there cake and eat it too - FN, LN in the book list, LN, FN in category tree and folders. Two others wanted the same, and they are both former editors at well know UK publishers. The main factor seems to be that non aficionados (and non Latin language persons) access the libraries.

I eventually convince them that the folder names are irrelevant as they won't be using them. And they wont be exactly as entered anyway, for Latin alphabet languages they'll be Ascii-ized, and for non Latin alphabet languages they'll be mangle-ized

A big factor in the district where I live is lots of non European migrants, kids run the computers in English, parents read in their non-Latin languages.
