I'm not the Ducks, but I do a variation on what he does. This is something you do as you load it to the reader. In my case, I use Save to Disk in Calibre. You can use preferences in Calibre to control what the output will look like, depending on what's important to you. In my case, I want the author to be the main folder. Inside the author folder I want another folder for any series that author might have written. I like to read series in order and don't always remember that order, so I have Calibre use the series info to put a number at the beginning of each book title. The expression that I use to accomplish all of this is this:
{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index} - {title}
It means that in Calibre I can select a range of books, choose to send a specific format to Calibre, wait a few moments, and all of the folder creation and file renaming happens automatically. Calibre is smart enough to recognize that a folder already exists and to add content to that folder. If the book is not part of a series, then it ends up in the author's folder.
People in the Calibre forum can give you more details on how to make this work.
