I have a feeling I'm missing something really simple, but the best solution I can come up with is to tweak the author sort algorithm to include "al." as a copyword ("et al." does not work), which is ok most of the time, but not always. How can I make calibre automatically ignore "et al." when sorting authors? |
Try poking 'et-al' into the suffixwords or copywords settings of the
Preferences->Tweaks->Author sort name algorithm.
