I have a number of sideloaded books on my Kindle, which has been set to sort on Author.

They have been seemingly randomly sorted someimes by Surname and sometimes by First Name. The most absurd example is two books by Dornford Yates. One has been sorted on Dornford and the other on Yates.

My intention is to sort on Surname followed by First Name.

The books are maintained in a Calibre library, and there is nothing obvious there to explain this behaviour.

Can anyone offer an explanation? Thanks.
