Author sort in KT
So. I use Calibre to manage my (ever increasing) collection of ebooks and the authorsort shows them all nice and neatly from Adams, Douglas all the way down to Wilde, Oscar.
Which is awesome, except my Kindle Touch shows them from Anne McCaffrey down to whatever... My question is - is there an easy way to switch the author names to author sort in Calibre so when they're on my kindle they'll display exactly the same way? I have about 800 ebooks, and 151 different authors, so doing it manually would be a major undertaking. I'm wondering if there's a setting in Calibre I've missed that will switch them over easily |

Good question...my author sort on KT is a mix of both first and last name....some are in order by first name, while other books are correctly sorting by last name. In Calibre, I've sorted them using last name. Would love to figure this out too.

I found a way.
I'm reconverting all my ebooks to MOBI and have checked "use author sort for author" option in the MOBI output settings section |

I'll add this to my "to do" list for sorting things out this summer. Thanks for the reply! |
