Hi:
Well, to tell the truth there's someting that make me feel rare.
In your first answer you wrote:

From the OP:
Quote:
6. Calibre > Preferences > Custom Columns > Add Optionally add another new custom column called "abc_abc_hierarchy" with a title of "ABC_ABCH" and with the type "column built from other columns, behaves like tags". The template could either be: {author}.{#abc_hierarchy} or perhaps {#author_book_count}.{author}.{#abc_hierarchy}. Of course, you may customize this template to please yourself. This column is not to be shown. Uncheck it to hide it.

However in the PDF I have, from the plugin of course, this is the text. As you see, there's no "optionally". This make me think about the version.
That's the reason because I created that column. I install the plugin using the user plugins option from Calibre, you know, preferences-plugins-get new plugins and then select Author Book Count Hierarchy (available 1.1.5, released 16 May 2016)
At this moment, this is the configuration of those items in Tweaks..
Yesterday I remove the plugin, and in this moment, I downloaded the plugin from the plugin homepage. After following the installation steps, I proceeded to run the plugin again.
Unfortunately there was no change, still the same problem. By the way, the version of the plugin is 1.1.5, I just check it again.
However I found a light about this issue. I create a new library with the same structure that the main library, and add all the books from Clarin, and another from other author. Then I run ABCH and works fine. In this new library I have only 16 books, but in the main library I have, make sure you're sit, 10,569. Don't ask me why so much, it's long to explain, but there's a good reason for that.
Finally I believe found the problem, at least part. As you see in the capture, some authors have a "," and others "|". If the author name have a "," the problem arises, but whith a "|" no.
I think that the problem is the numbers of books, but, 10,000 is not a big number for Calibre, isn't? I just remember something, at least for this author "Alias Clarin, Leopoldo". By example, in this case the author Mario Vargas Llosa, if I use the "copy author sort to author" option, the name looks "Llosa, Mario Vargas", but the right form is "Vargas Llosa, Mario". So in that case, i select "Vargas" and copy before "Llosa", add a space and then use the "copy author sort to author".
In the case of Vargas Llosa, ABCH works fine, but with Alias Clarin, Leopoldo not. However in both cases, I make the same "operation" about last names and names.
I hope you can decipher the problem
