It worked for all files I edited in calibre (I only use calibre to edit the metadata for the ebook, then delete them from calibre again and if needed simply copy to ereader trough explorer) except for that one. I just now found out that the "wrong author name" is the name of the man creating the cover for the books so not even a co-writer?! Changing the cover didn't help either. Oh well..

For now I put a shorthand (LOTR for example) in front of the title plus a number. This at least puts them in the correct order.
