I did use author_sort to get the LN, FN combo. I do understand that the comma does not work for Kobo, so in my previous post #5 I figured to replace that comma by some other character which would not be wrongly interpreted by Kobo.
The last code simply swaps the LN, FN --> FN LN which is not my intention.
I need something like:
Code:
program:re(author_sort:list_item(0,&),',', 'U+0088')
But as I am no template specialist, my ideas may be totally wrong. |
I don't follow. Lets assume we change the comma to a semicolon. Using author_sort with that change, if you send "Asimov; Isaac" and "Deer; Carl" to the Kobo then it will display the authors sorted incorrectly like this:
Why? Because the kobo treats the part after the last space as the last name and sorts on that. Is that really what you want?
If you really want to do that then this should work. I used semicolon because the template parser doesn't support extended character definition sequences and U+0088 doesn't seem to be a proper character.
Code:
program:re(list_item($author_sort, '0', '&'),',', ';')
