Question about saving to disk title sort

Connor Carroll · 05-10-2013, 01:43 AM

Hello,

I apologize if this question has been asked before! I tried searching existing threads to see if someone asked this question already but I couldn't find anything:

I'm having some trouble getting the desired title sort when I save my Calibre library files to a disk location. For example, "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" is saved in Windows as "Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, The." Is there any way to get the word "The" to show up at the beginning of the file name without going into Calibre and changing the title sort for each book? I tried changing the "Save to Disk" preferences in Calibre but had no success. I know it's a minor problem but it's really bothering me! (obsessive-compulsive personality...)

Thanks!

Connor

Check out the tweak section of the manual. There you can change how titles are handled and sorted and also how the save template is produced.

Thanks a lot! I was able to get the desired save template by going into Tweaks and changing the save template title sort to "strictly_alphabetic". Thanks again!
