Intro author guides alpabetization
There seems to be a new opf standard. If the metadata coding includes the following:
<metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlnspf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> [...] <dc:title>The Early Stories</dc:title> <dc:creator id="creator">Truman Capote</dc:creator> <meta property="role" refines="#creator" scheme="marc:relators">aut</meta> <meta property="file-as" refines="#creator">Capote, Truman</meta> <meta property="display-seq" refines="#creator">1</meta> <meta property="role" refines="#creator" scheme="marc:relators">aui</meta> <meta property="file-as" refines="#creator">Als, Hilton</meta> <meta property="display-seq" refines="#creator">2</meta> [...] </metadat The author appears, correctly, as Truman Capote, but the alphabetization (author sort) is by "Als", which means it appears far away from other Truman Capote books. Personally, I dislike the new opf system. I prefer to put the author of an introduction as <contributor opf:role="aui", but that is not allowed in this new system. |

That's the standard from EPUB 3.0. Newer versions of calibre support it automatically.
What is your question? |

Are you saying calibre is using Als, Hilton as the author sort rather than Capote, Truman?

Specifying more than one value for file-as for a single author in invalid, however, I have changed calibre to use all the values combined instead of only the last one.
