Newbie grappling with how Calibre sorts by author name
I was just given a Kindle 2. I downloaded my Amazon library of 200 books to it. I then downloaded 200 Project Gutenberg books to my laptop and used Calibre to sideload them to the Kindle 2.
Sorting books on the Kindle by author is now a mess. Example: it has books by G. K. Chesterton; some from Amazon and some through Calibre. Those from Calibre sort by first name, those from Amazon by last name, as below (bolded text is authors of Amazon titles. Normal text is from Calibre)
Charlotte Brontė
G. K. (Gilbert Keith) Chesterton
Lydia Maria Frances Child
(Insert authors with names beginning with C - F here)
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
G K Chesterton
John Galsworthy
However, in Calibre's library window, the author's names are all sorted by last name, and displayed showing first name first. I don't want to change that.
I've trying looking around in the forums to find out how to fix this but I don't know enough yet to know what search terms to use. Why won't my Kindle 2 just display the author's name in the format shown in Calibre's metadata window? I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense but I am so frazzled by trying to figure this out. Thanks you for reading this far.
