- when I look to the file "books" on the tolino (with the explorer) there all is sortet in the same way like on the computer itself
- when I open the tolino and look to the library this is sortet (as far as I understand) by the metadata. I can select between "sortet by title" and "sortet by author" and in the overview there is shown only one of the two names - in my case the wrong one.
- in my calibre library (and it is a big one) all metadata for all books are in the same form. when I startet a few years ago I decided for myself to have the same profile for the fields "author" and "author sorting" that means both fields are the same, i.e. "Grisham, John"
- in my opinion it is no way to change or modify the field "author" every time I want to sent a book to the tolino.
- I suspect it is a general problem in the tolino software which will read the html-data not in the right way (and it is not a calibre problem, because there all is ok).
