Sorting books

Hi.

Anyway to disable :
"Title sort" and "author sort".

So calibre sort only based on the actual title of the books.

Thanks.

It is done in Preferences: Tweaks
Keyword: Library Order (what Calibre defaults to)

Once done and Calibre has been restarted,You need to make Calibre recompute the sorts:

In the Tag Browser: Right click Authors: Manage: (the button needed is at the bottom)

For Title: Select all Books: Tap "E" (bulk metadata edit): Tick the Title recalculate box

Call me stuck in my ways, but why would you look (in a list) for an Author by first name? How many John's there would be?
In the rare case you only remembered the first name,
Search: Author:john

Sorry but I can't think of a good reason to disable title sort. Just how many books whose titles start with an article (a, an or the) do you want to see sorted together?

BTW, I am assuming you are using English though calibre handles articles in other languages in the same way.

I still have horrible memories of one summer intern at a company I did some consulting for who sorted strictly alphabetical. The T segment of the filing system expanded horrendously when The District of Burnaby, The Municipality of Hope, The South Okanagan School District, The Ministry of Education, etc. etc. were all filed under T for The.
