Hi Kovid,

I think you misunderstood the question maybe. As you can see from the question he wanted to know if he could use Calibre's algorithm from the CLI to parse the "sort fields" from the original fields.

I think your previous answer does not show the correctly parsed sort fields, if they are not yet set.

I am replying here because I am interested in exactly this also.
Thank you!
