Title_sort problem

Phssthpok · 10-10-2018, 07:44 AM

I have a book, "The Patient", whose title_sort is "The Patient" rather than, as expected, "Patient, The". I have tried retyping the entire title, and it makes no difference. I changed the title to "The X" -- the title_sort was "The X". I changed the title to "X", saved it, and then changed it back again -- still the title_sort was wrong.

I then created a new book and set the title to "The Patient", and the title_sort comes out as "Patient, The" as expected. I copied the EPUB into the new book, and then deleted the original book. The title_sort is now correct.

Anyone have any ideas what might have caused this?

You might want to check the language setting. The sorting rules can vary by language.

title sort depends on book language, if the language was not english, then...
