Thanks, Kovid, but I think I have the author sort fields right.

I have my books in Calibre sorted by author, which I presume is by the author sort field. In a typical book, I'm keeping the author name in the author field as "John Smith" but in the author sort field as "Smith, John". On the Kindle, though, the book is sequenced under "J" rather than under "S".



Just having Smith would do the trick, but the problem then is that the author on the Kindle would be listed as Smith only.
