The titleSorter field in cache.xml can be used to sort book by what you need. For example, you can translate the title to pinyins and fill this field to make books sorted by pinyin.

Unfortunately, this isn't a authorSorter field

If you can read chinese, I had combined prs+ 1.0RC2 with a chinese package:

What you need is :
  • fonts with chinese/japanese supported
  • put these fonts in a directory, mount the font directory to /opt/sony/ebook/FONT

Doing so, you can read chinese/japanese books, and see the title/author in the menu.
If you need a menu in chinese/japanese or other languages, you need to do more:
  • extract files in /opt/sony/ebook/application/resources to a directory
  • modify the main.xml, overwrite the getTitle/getValue function to translate menu text to chinese/japanese
  • mount the directory to /opt/sony/ebook/application/resources
