First off, thank you Kovid for such a great product!

I have a question about "Author(s)" and "Author Sort" meta info in calibre.

I had assumed that I could put the authors name in the format "First Last", and then in "Author Sort", enter "Last, First". That way my authors list would display "First Last", while sorting by last name...

...but it doesn't seem to work that way on my Sony PRS-505.

What is the purpose of the "Author Sort" field?
