OK well that is consistent with what I see. IF, when I go to edit metadata and correct my author sorts, calibre actually edits the metadata IN THE BOOK ? which windows says NO to. I fixed author sort yesterday via edit metadata in calibre but windows says the epub was last modified on the 25th
example 1 the noah...book
in the opf is <dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Noah Harari, Yuval">Yuval Noah Harari</dc:creator>
in calibre author sort is Harari, Yuval Noah. so calibre has not updated what is in the epub yet.
example 2: Peter
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Peter Helton">Peter Helton</dc:creator>
but author sort is Helton, Peter
in opf metadata, I see no explicit author sort entries
NB to " preserve the evidence" I have corrected my calibre records but I have not re-sent anything to CC, or reconverted or polished any books., All I have used in calibre is
edit metadata screen to find and fix the wrong
author sort fields
back to the screenshot:
author groupings must be using some other method to identify
last name - probably literally that - grouping is using the text that is after the final space within the name ?
Nitpicking now, the a-z sort options offered by CC are to sort by
author,or title , or series ... there is not an offer to sort by author-sort.
the "bug" as I see it is that the screen as per my 2nd screenshot appears to contradict itself.
