I'm trying to figure out why Calibre is inconsistantly naming folders in my library.

For example, I have a series of 21 books. I bulk edited the Author and Author Sort name to ensure they were ALL identical.

I exported everything to files, and then nuked my library folder (to ensure that there was nothing residual).

I then re-imported all the books.

What I got was

Two folders in my library
"Frank; Brian Herbert; Kevin J. Ande"
and
"Frank; Brian Herbert; Kevin J. Ander"

The first has the first three books, and the other has the other eighteen.

All metadata within Calibre shows it the same still. I can't figure out why it's doing this. I considered overall filename length, but it can't be that, because there are some longer titles in the second folder.

Anyone have any idea?
