Author sort tweak on adding
Hi,
I have the tweak author_sort_copy_method set to 'copy' which should copy author to author_sort without modification. Now I noticed that upon adding some books from Standard Ebooks, I'm getting the author_sort set as LN, FN. So I need to select the books and correct that by running the Bulk Metadata edit function "Automatically set author sort". Is this how it has always worked, or am I missing something? I think the 'copy' tweak used to work for newly added books, but I'm not sure. Last edited by Comfy.n; Today at 07:09 AM. |

Copy does whatever is in Authors in the books original metadata .
FWIW I use Quality Check Plugin: FIX: Swap Author... to flip whatever is in Authors (the sort follows the rule) |

Well, I took a look at this one, for example:
https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/jo...re-and-conduct It has <dc:creator id="author">John Dewey</dc:creator> So shouldn't 'copy' use that to fill in the author_sort? On the other hand I see an extra property, perhaps Calibre is using this value to populate author_sort: <meta property="file-as" refines="#author">Dewey, John</meta> |
