Author Sort is really Author LAST Name Sort if you use the standard Fn Ln in the Author field
Joe Smithe = Smithe, Joe and sorts as Smithe
Sure - I understand all that. But it is a problem. What goes out to the ereader is NOT what I see on the screen. Or indeed the folder structure kept by Calibre. It seems to create afolder structure based on the Author Sort field - which you cannot see. This is my whole point.

I would like to SEE the Author field - and simply opening up each book entry (of thousands) to check it, is not a viable option.

What I have to do now is look at the folder structure created on the ereader device, and from that, infer what is wrong with the Author Sort fields.
