That doesn't seem to work, at least for the version of calibre I'm using which is 8.7

Code:

❯ calibredb list --search '#rating:True' --fields=title,authors,*rating --sort-by=rating
zsh: no matches found: --fields=title,authors,*rating

I've also tried using the 'all' field but then the output formatting is completely messed up.

Code:

❯ calibredb list --search '#rating:True' --fields=all --sort-by=rating
