Autor pseudonym

tky72_wxCrd3 · 11-09-2023, 01:14 AM

I have a problem with author sorting.
I can assign the correct name to an author who uses a pseudonym in the author sorting.
But what can I do if 5 authors use the same pseudonym?

Thanks for your help

You mean like Carolyn Keene? (a 'house' Author) I don't even try

and cross.
(recent versions of calibre have allowed more Notes to be linked to books. I don't use this, so others will explain)

My Authors column has the name that is on the Cover (original release).

I have a second, custom, #pseudo4 column

for use when the cover name was NOT the authors real name. I made entries into Preferences:Searching so that these were considered together.

Because my original reader was folder-file name based, I adjusted how I used Authors.
{#psudeo4} became where I put the Author (list) anytime it went over 3 names and the Original column became (the Editors/compilers) name (ed) or simply '<various>'

V. C. Andrews is probably the most prolific dead author there is.

V. C. Andrews is a real author and also a pseudonym. How would you handle that?

expand the initials (by hand) on one to break the tie. Series can be a partial clue.

There is no perfect solution
