Correct Format for Author Name In Calibre

Hey All.

I noticed that my Sony PRS 350 has some authors listed out of order when I do an author search. What is the correct format for the Author's name so that the author's search works via surname and not first name?

Also, what is the easiest way of changing this with Calibre?

Thanks in advance

Look in the Calbre forum. I know there are some issues with the 650 and author.

There is a special collection in the Device Plug In. aba:Sort by Author.

aba is the special collection that will sort properly, the part after the : is whatever you want it to say.
