Calibre fills the "Author sort" field from the opf:file-as attribute I was mentioning.
Clearly there's a simple way to handle an author without an opf:file-as attribute.
What there is
not is a simple way to handle the same author with different opf:file-as attributes.
eg:
book1 by "Ernest Hemingway" author sort "Hemingway, Ernest"
book2 by "Ernest Hemingway" author sort "Hemingway, E"
book3 by "Ernest Hemingway" author sort "Heminway, Ernest"
book4 by "Ernest Hemingway" no author sort
If Marvin saw these 4 books by the same author which of the "author sort" values would it use?
