Hi all, hoping you can help with a problem that's been bugging me.

Having purchased one book in a series from a non amazon source and wanting to transfer it to the kindle app on my fire, I've imported it to calibre and then exported it to the device.

All well and good, except that the book is showing up in the J section of the app, where it would be if sorted by first name, rather than in the H section with the rest of the series.

Checked the metadata and it's reading last name, first name in author sort, as it should. Author field is listed first name, last name, and both boxes are highlighted green so presumably no problems.

Not sure what's gone wrong here at all. If anyone can stop me tearing my hair out it would be appreciated.
