KOBO : sorting out only Last names authors

Frouxy · 10-06-2020, 06:37 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum, so I hope I'm in the right section.
I'm english friendly but it's not my mother tongue so by trying to find a solution to my issue on this forum, I might have missed something, and so I look forward for your help.

I'm using Calibre 4.23 and a Kobo H2O 1st version.

I have managed to configure Calibre and my Kobo according to what's showed in the enclosed files.

My issue is the following :

In the authors section of my Kobo books, I have all the first names and the last names sorted out by alphabetical order.

Ex :
Aaronovitch
Abercrombie
Ben
Joe

I would like to have something like that, similar to my sorting in Calibre :
LN, FN for all of my authors on my Kobo.

Ex :
Aaronovitch, Ben
Abercrombie, Joe

Is it possible to do so ? If yes, how can I manage that, do I need to change settings files on my Kobo or is it directly something I can manage on Calibre ?

Any help from someone is welcome, or else to redirect me on the right thread if I missed it.

Félix

This is a fairly common question. You should be able to get the answer from Authors split wrongly by Kobo.
