I just downloaded BAEN's Free Library (I owe them a fat donation) and spent a couple of hours with mobi2mobi stamping the files with proper title and author metadata.

Normally, when you download content from Amazon, the Kindle displays the author as First, Last but sorts as Last, First. With the mobipocket files I've stamped and added manually, it's sorting as displayed, so First, Last.

I guess I can restamp the files as Last, First, but I'd prefer to have them wholly integrated in the library. Anyone know if there's another EXTH category or something I can use to get them to display First, Last and sort Last, First?
