Hi,
I am trying to make Apple Books on my iPad sort the books in my collection according to Creator - File As metadata contents but Apple Books seems to ignore the attribute completely and instead sorts them according to the contents of the main Creator field, so JK Rowling precedes Robert Conquest and Victor Hugo follows Jack London.
Is there any way to make Apple Books be aware of the File As contents? Or, maybe, make it sort the books by authors correctly in any other way?
(short of rewriting their names in reverse order, i.e. last name - first name)
