Hello jumping on this thread as I have a similar problem.
I have my calibre metadata author field as "FN LN" and author sort as "LN, FN"
However Kindle is sorting on First Name i.e Agatha Christie is sorted under A rather than C. This is for books that are not always bought from kindle.
I've tried:
Deleting the original from my kindle
Ejecting kindle and switching off
Updating/checking author and author sort metadata on calibre (It has always appeared to be correct)
Plugging in kindle to calibre again
"Send to device" for updated book
Checking on kindle
Thus far, this has not been successful and the Kindle has still sorted by FN.
I read in one of the forums that if you select "use author sort" for output to MOBI when converting then that would force the correct metadata to be used.
However some of the books I want to update have DRM.
I have tried updating metadata then converting to mobi but I cannot as I get the DRM dialogue box.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to "fix" the author sort on my kindle without having to convert to mobi in calibre?
How do I convert to mobi for DRM books?
Any help on how to get my kindle to sort books by author surname would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
