Sort by books title

oldbear · 06-26-2021, 12:19 PM

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if a feature allowing to sort directly .epub files "by title" existed or was planned on KOReader? Indeed, by default, we have a view on the memory's folder tree of the Kobo.
However, since the beginning, my folders have been sorted by default by author by Calibre and I sometimes spend a lot of time (even with the KOReader title search function) to find a book I am looking for in my files.
If not, do you know of a method (perhaps via Calibre) to automatically reorganize my folders containing my .epub files?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

This has been discussed in the past, but the TL;DR being:

* No, the FM is designed to be a file manager, not metadata-driven.

Which leaves you with:

* Using Calibre metadata search
* Tweaking your calibre save template and rebuilding your Library.

Thanks but it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking for a document about how to use Calibre to export my ebooks and where the settings can be changer, using the template language you send to me.

In Preferences > Sending books to devices, you can specify the naming scheme for the files sent to the device. In Preferences > Plugboards you can define how to modify the metadata (which is not what you want here, but I mention it for completeness).
