Exporting titles
I've searched everywhere and I can not find the answer, so if someone could point me in the proper direction I would greatly appreciate it.

When I export the .mobi version out I am getting the format "Title, The - Author". I would like it to export as "The Title - Author." How do I go about that?


Thank you

It is set in Preferences: Tweaks. (affects the Library view)
Keyword: Library_order
change it to: strictly_alphabetic in the desired place

You must then update the existing sort values. I do that by selecting all books (ctrl-A), then tap 'E' (bulk metadata edit), tick the box: Automatically set Author Sort, OK

While I appreciate that it doesn't make sense when I get to that tweak screen
