Author sort on Kobo Aura One?
I have recently purchased a Kobo Aura One. I am having trouble trying to figure out how to do an author sort by Fn Ln. I have a plugboard that I used with my old Kindle DX for series/index/author that works just great on the Kobo, but I can't seem to get the sort order that I want for authors. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

What's the problem you are having?
Kobo devices do not use the author sort, only the author. It assumes any author is "LN FN" but doesn't handle two word surnames ("von Soandso"). "LN, FN" will work when sorting in the book list, but, Kobo uses the comma as the separator for multiple authors. The author collections are built based on the commas. So, "LN, FN" will produce collections for both "LN" and "FN". And for the record, the plugboard I use for authors is: Code:
{authors:'re(re($, '(.*) & ', '\1 and '), ' & ', ', ')'} |
