So both the author field and the author sort field don't get sent to the Kindle? The Kindle displays what I placed in the author field and it seems that it also uses the author field rather than the author sort field for its sequencing.

Do both fields get sent to the Kindle via the .mobi format?

Ahh! Maybe I've been wrong all along by using day "Ian Fleming" in the author field and "Fleming, Ian" in the author sort field. Maybe I should just use "Fleming, Ian" in both fields.

BTW I'm using Calibre on a Mac through its OS X shell. Perhaps that doesn't give me full control over all of Calibre's metadata.
