Title Case and Handling Name Suffixes
Calibre is a very nice application for handling an electronic library. I am assuming that things are being corrected as it goes along. Two items of immediate notice are:
Calibre cannot generate proper title case. Calibre cannot handle name suffixes correctly. This Sentence is Title Case This Sentence is also Title Case this sentence Is Not Title Case THIS SENTENCE IS NOT TITLE CASE Also this One IS not title Case Names suffixes are separated from the last name by a comma and a space. For example: Alfred Anatasio, Jr. or Alfred Anatasio, III or Alfred Anatasio, MD The proper way to list this name alphabetically is: Anatasio, Alfred Jr. Is there any way in Calibre that this can be corrected. Anatasio, Alfred III Anatasio, Alfred MD |

Alfred Anatasio Jr. Alfred Anatasio III Alfred Anatasio MD Calibre lists the names alphabetically as you suggest. Anatasio, Alfred Jr. Anatasio, Alfred III Anatasio, Alfred MD So is your point that calibre doesn't deal properly with the commas Alfred Anatasio, Jr. Alfred Anatasio, III Alfred Anatasio, MD and sorts those names as Anatasio,, Alfred Jr. Anatasio,, Alfred III Anatasio,, Alfred MD Then you are correct. I'm confused by the finer points of what you want. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 10-09-2011 at 07:37 AM. |

It depends on the suffix.
Jr. and Sr. are typically offset by a comma. II and III are not. Titles are offset by a comma. MD, Ph.D, etc. So: John Smith, Jr. John Smith, Sr. John Smith II John Smith III John Smith, MD John Smith, Ph.D |
