Calibre Questions

Hello,

I am sure that these questions have been asked and answered and although I have done some searching, I am unable to find the information I am looking for.

I would like to be able to sort the books into a folder labeled with the authors name. If the book is in a series I want to be able to save it in a folder labeled with the series name inside of the authors folder.

My second issue is that when I save these books to disk, the series order isn't used to sort the books in my kindle (once I send them there via email). I read about using a plugboard and seen examples of it, but I want the series name and number to be first....so it would be Series Name 01.0 - Book Title - Author.

I have tried reading and understanding how to formulate this on my own but honestly even though I am good with computers, this syntax confuses me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Lena

Use the plugboard with a Kindle

IMHO Series should NOT depend on a single author (in other words, do not put into Author folders).

I have hundreds of books where the series would be broken up using your scheme. Not all Authors participate in every work, not always the same ones

Primary Author
Primary Author, Book Author1
Book Author1, Primary Author < author1 solo work in Primaries world or finiched a deceased authors manuscript
Book Author2, Primary Author
Book Author1 < the Primary author had introduced a protege previously
