Wrong order of authors and books in series
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to organize my library and book series through the kobo interface and calibre. In calibre I first used {author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s} on the metaplugboard but it appeared as LN, FN and I didn't like it [img1] so I changed it to {author}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>2s} and it appears as FN LN but the author order isn't correct, as you can see "Cabot" shows up before "Barbosa" [img2] (altough it still orders by the author's last name and the rest of the library seems to be ordered accurately). And in both the options, the order of the series aren't correct. Any solutions? Thanks in advance |

I don't know if you can achieve what you want. The author sort on a Kobo is trying to use knowledge of what name looks like to do the sort. It's been discussed before. Have a look at Sorting authors with space in last name to get some idea of what is happening.
