For my uses, I do a Save to Disk to a directory that I sync to DropBox. This gives me directories based on the first author in the author_sort list with the books saved in those directory as [series series_index - ]title - first author in author list.

i.e.

Code:
Andrews, Ilona/Rusalochka - Ilona Andrews.epub

Robb, J. D_/[In Death 58] - Payback in Death - J. D. Robb.epub

Robb, J. D_/[In Death SS 03] - In Death Christmas Collection, The - J. D. Robb.epub

Tillman, Charles/[Big Easy Bounty Hunter 05] - More Monsters, More Mayhem - Charles Tillman.epub
Template used is (I am considering changing the series index to 3 digits since one series I'm reading has reached #86):

Code:
{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{series:|[|} {series_index:0>2s||] - }{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}

Of course, calibre is a massive Swiss army knife and most of us never do more than scratch the surface of it's capabilities. To quote one comment about Microsoft Word, 90% of the users never use more than 25% of it's capabilities, the problem is that no two users agree on which capabilities to use.
