Well, in my Authors list right now, I have A.E. Merritt, A.E. Van Vogt, Aaron Allston, and Abraham Lincoln at the top. So I'm a little unclear on how "Calibre does sort author lists by author". And yes, author and author_sort are set correctly in the metadata (I just double checked).

The reason I'd like a swap button to swap author and author_sort is the PRS-505 doesn't respect author_sort. So if I go into "Books by Author" there, it starts with, guess who, A.E. Merritt. If I could swap author and author_sort, transfer the books, then swap it back for calibre use, that would get around the PRS probelm.
