Inverting Book Title and Author labels
I've recently decided to try and manage my library through Calibre. My trouble is, many of the files I try to manage are cached by Calibre with the title and book author fields inverted (e.g, I have some books called "Alcott, Louisa May", the authors of one of them being "Little Women" ). I'd like to know if there is a way to invert those labels a posteriori: that is, once the books are put in Calibre's database.
Thanks in advance |

If you have already added metadata, you can keep the old records until you have re-added the books, then merge the old record for each book into the new one. Otherwise, delete the old records. |

You can do this one book at a time via the edit meta information button and clicking the doughnut icon to swap title and author. |
