When i open the Calibre library where all the books are located in i see a lot of Directorys on each of them is the name of the Autor Like A.E von Voght. When i open this Dir another on is inside on it is the name of the book like Nul-A when i open this dir inside there is the book Named
Nul-A – A.E von Voght.
Is it possible to get it like this A.E Von Voght – Nul-A
and if so how do i do that to change it and is it possible to do that fore a serie book not 1 by 1

No. The internal structure of calibre is relatively rigid and as such not customizable by the user. However exporting books from the library via Save to disk or Connect to folder have save templates that are extremely flexible.

Why do you want to change it? i.e. What are you trying to do? There might be a better way to accomplish it.

Typically you should manage all your books from within calibre and not look into the directory it uses to manage its database. You can always export books from calibre into a new directory structure with the directory and file names exactly as you want - using Preferences->Save to Disk and Save to Disk.
