Hello jhowell,
Thanks so much for your reply!

I can’t square this info with the fact that the <meta name="calibre:title_sort"> + ebook-convert pipeline does sometimes (maybe less than half the cases) produce AZW3 output with a title_sort field.

I do now know how to include the author_sort information in the author field (using a "Surname, Name" format) for Kindle.
Does that mean that I can/should include the title_sort information somehow in the title field, also?
Still, this doesn’t explain the cases above, where title_sort does work in AZW3.

Or maybe none of this really makes any difference for me?
I am trying to get my Kindle (PW4) to display the books in a certain order.
This whole quest only makes sense if Kindle is actually able to do so.

Sorry if I am being thick, this has been a very long journey and this last stretch really goes over my head.
