1. How can I add books to Calibre and have the author field show exactly as it is in the file metadata? I have about 1000 .mobi files I converted last year to upload to my Kindle account, but some were formatted FN LN and others LN, FN and I wanted to re-edit them to all the same style. Also, does having a space between the "," and the LN (FN, LN) make a difference? I have a couple that don't have that extra space and importing them shows the comma.

2. Is there a way of changing the author sort to change the ampersands to semicolons, but leave the ampersands in the author field?

3. How can I stop Calibre from using the code format for icon rules? I want to go back to seeing them as I entered without the code.

Thanks!
