hi,
I'm having issues knowing/understanding/controlling how calibre sorts stuff
for example if I sort by series then by Author it will be sorted by :
- 1 Author A - Z
- 2 Series A - Z
however on the UI it only shows the Author sorting not the series subsorting
minor gripe I know but still. More complex issue follows.
It does strange stuff (for me at least) that I would like to understand better
For example I had a series of books in both french & english
I didn't understand why it wasn't sorted by series given that "series" was the column with the black triangle so in my mind it had to be the primary sorting
Despite that it displayed something ordered like this :
- Series[1]bookname French
- Series[3]bookname French
- Series[4]bookname French
- Otherbooks
- Series[2]bookname English
- Series[5]bookname English
And I understood after a while that the difference was the language, e.g. it seemed despite the black triangle indicating that books should be sorted by series. it still had a primary sorting by language.
Any hindsight ? why does it behave like this ?
any way to control it better ? ....
