There is nothing I could find to change all authors to FN LN, but there is a button to 'copy all author sort values to author'. This will put them at LN, FN so I'll just keep it like that. Thanks, Carol |

I am having trouble with the LN, FN sort. I started using Calibre on a Windows XP system. Yesterday I reformatted the hard drive and am now using Linux. I installed the current Linux version of Calibre 0.8.8 and added my Library's (saved from the Windows system) as existing Library's. The Library's have all being reinstalled and look good. At first glance. However, when adding new books, I have found that the Authors are being sort strangely. Although I have them entered as LN, FN when Sorted they appear as FN, LN. I checked in Edit MetaData and the Author Sort has an extra comma in it.
eg. Author: Painter, Sally in Author Sort: Sally, Painter, It then is Sorted in the S's for Sally not the P's for Painter. Help. |

What do you have entered as the value of the Tweak for deriving author_sort from author? The default on a new installation would be to do it by reversing the names in the author field (which is what you say seems to be happening). It sounds as if you had the tweak set on the original system to copy author to author_sort?

Your tweak is set to Invert (default), not Copy Once that is done. Open the Tag Browser, Click the Manage... button at the bottom Manage Authors. Click the Recalculate All button |
