Yeah, that was a typo, I couldn't correct, 'cause I can't edit posts.

Let me explain, what I mean in more detail. Following the guide, I created a custom Genre column and added it to Categories with hierarchical items. Then I populated metadata with genres and subgenres, such as:
  • Speculative fiction.Sci-fi.Steampunk
  • Speculative fiction.Sci-fi.Cyberpunk
  • etc.
This created a nice hierarchical tree in the tag browser, but since I created a column called Genre, I also wanted to display it in the main view of Calibre (where the books are listed). I was hoping Calibre would be able to separate the various genres and subgenres as it does in the tag browser. Instead it just listed the items the way, I typed them into metadata. So a steampunk book, would have Speculative fiction.Sci-fi.Steampunk as its genre. My question is, whether it is possible to display the hierarchical item separated in the column.
