after transfer ebooks sorted by author - change possible?

[ratsnack]

Hey there!

just started using Calibre....

I mainly read downloaded ebup files on my tolino (yeah, fanfics), and after updating my whole library with metadata etc, I transfered everything via the Calibre "send to reader" button BUT

now everything is sorted by Author on the reader and that bothers me. I want it sorted by Genre/Fandom.

is there a way to tell Calibre thats the way i want it displayed on my tolino?

By that, do you mean create collections for Genre/Fandom? If so, you need to change the save template in the configuration for the tolino driver. Tolino devices build the collection from the sub-directories of the "Books" directory. If you use a save template that uses your Genre/Fandom column as a directory you should get what you want.

As an example, the save template for my tolino is:

{#kobobookshelves}/{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}

The column "{#kobobookshelves}" is a column I maintain to categorise my books. You should replace that with your column for Genre/Fandom.
