+Author sort is actually set in the Manage Authors dialogue (as is a per author feature, not a per book feature).
+Then what is Author sort inside the book metadata used for?
(I mean: I thought that if even if it is inside the ebook metadata, if you changed that "Author sort" field, it was actually changed for that global author value. If you changed it in book A and you went to book B you'd see it updated there too. I mean I do not understand how having book A with a different Author Sort field than B can be useful. Where is it used? In the table view Author sort field is the book-related one? or its author-related one?)
Thanks for your time Kovid,
I'm learning a lot.
