I store all my audiobooks in Calibre. I added a column for Narrator although I have to add the name manually because I don’t think any plugins pull that information from the file or the net.
My problem arose when I tried to add a column for the Length of the audiobook.
My preferred format is 12h23m and it works just fine in a text column except that it will not sort in order showing shortest to longest or vise versa. I had hoped that it would short in a numeric order starting with the hours, but it doesn’t. I have tried using the column as an integer instead of text and using the format of 12.23 which works for sorting.
Any ideas on how to short correctly in my preferred format?
Thanks.
