Kovid has suggested this will be added in the future for exporting the books from the calibre database.

Does calibre use the metatags of the file for sorting or does it use the filename only? If I rename the files myself, will calibre still find them properly?

All sorting in Calibre iis done against the data held in the Metadata database. The filenames are stored in the Calibre Metadata database to link the stored book information to the underlying files. If you rename the files calibre will no longer be able to find them, and due to the fact that the file system and the metadata database are now out of sync you might some unpredictable results.
