Hello everyone, new here with a large library I'll never fully complete and having an issue with the default sorting of authors. I'm going with LN, FN.

All author sort fields are "green" in metadata window. However when opening calibre, the default book sort order seems to be date added ascending.

I've fiddled with the "tweak" for author sort by title [('authors',0),('title',0)] and that isn't working either. When restarting calibre it reverts back to date added ascending, not author ascending. What am I doing wrong?

Tired of clicking column headings to sort. Sorry if this has been answered before, I searched this forum, but not finding the relevant post.
