eg sort {title}, then {Author_Sort} and all Authors books will be in Title order
BUT
If you have a Series with different Authors (combinations), then you can NOT have it both ways You sort by Series (includes Index) or Authors
Yeah, I'm learning that the metadata isn't always consistent across the epubs that I have. So, making it a priority to sanitize and standardize the data before I go much further.
