Hi,

I would like to create a new Tag browser Hierarchy based upon Authors and Series - with each author listed once at the top level, similar to the Author(s) group, and all the series that they either authored or co-authored at the second level.
Authors should be shown in lastname order

I've played around with the template language in order to try an get this working, but the closest I've come to a solution is a hierarchy that only includes the first author of the series using this template I found via Google :-

{author_sort:'re(sublist($, 0, 1, '&'), '\.', '')'}.{series}

I'm not much good with Python - does anyone have some more pointers?

Thanks in advance,
sllewji
