on the helpfuly provided link to her ask me anything

Emily St. John Mandel

St. John's my middle name. The books go under M.

she says St. John is her middle name ,and there was a full stop there.
Amazon listings also have a full stop. back on PC now so to check my theory:

hmm

in my book meta data :
station eleven author sort Mandel, Emily St. John,
but when I downloaded it to CC from dropbox last night, why was it grouped as M but sorted as an S ?


hmm
epub book opf has
<dc:creator opf:file-as="St. John Mandel, Emily" opf:role="aut">Emily St. John Mandel</dc:creator>
so at one time it was an S.

that was probably when I did the Kindle to Epub conversion

using edit on the AZW3 - what's that unknown doing there ?
<dc:title>Station Eleven</dc:title>
<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Unknown">Emily St. John Mandel</dc:creator>

a possible explain of he apparent on going mis sort
lat nights download to CC was done from dropbox and last library mirror sync may have been before I did the QC plug in thing. & QC changed it
I will re-download from Calibre to CC later today & see how it is filed and grouped
