Is there any way to make first-letter partitions separate based on the first displayed letter instead of the first letter of the last name? I've changed my author sort to copy and edited the metadata; their books show up in the right place when sorting by author name, but they're still partitioning based on their last name.

@MsFlutter - I moved your post from ". . . not worth its own thread." into a new thread.

That means it will be discoverable in a thread title search.

Hmmm, setting the author_sort_copy_method to 'copy' works for me, i.e. "Fred Bloggs" will be in the Tag browser 'F's.

Have a look in Manage Authors (right click an Author name in the Tab browser or Book details), you may have to use the "Recalculate all author sort values" button.

Recalculating the sorts worked! Thanks for the help :)
