Categorization by author #71

Open caribfa opened 7 years ago

caribfa commented 7 years ago

Hi, Hyphen needs proper categorization by author so that books can be easier to find. Right now, categorization is by alphabet. The letters of the alphabet can be run alongside the screen as a shortcut to find authors. As it stands, the system of categorization is inefficient. Authors are hard to locate. OPDS does not work even when all the info is entered correctly. I want to connect Calibre to Hyphen but can't. The wheel spins and nothing.

Hello @caribfa, thanks for filing this issue. Please send me an email @ hyphenreader@gmail.com about your OPDS issue.

1) Book titles by an author are not sorted alphabetically. They seem to be sorted in the order they were added in to Hyphen. A book title starting with a "B" in the title can be sorted ahead of one starting with "A".

2) The author name sorting is by "FirstName LastName". It should be by "LastName, FirstName". In a typical epub content.opf file is as follows.

FirstName LastName Maybe the opf:file-as should be used as the sorting option. If the opf:file-as is missing then the sorting would use whatever name is used in ">FirstName LastName<".

By the way, your epub app is far better than others I have tried. The epub formatting is honored. And epub3 is supported which was something I was looking for.
