Sorry, the short answer is no, at least not easily. When you sort by
author, for example, you are sorting by the information stored inside
the file. You are at the mercy of whoever created the file as to what
they put in it. There IS something you can do, but it takes some work
on your part. You can disassemble the LIT file (you can get "convlit"
here: http://www.convertlit.com/ ) change information as you please
and then use a LIT maker to reassemble the ebook. Readerworks (
http://www.overdrive.com/readerworks/ ) sells a LIT maker, but they
also have a free version which is limited in some ways. Microsoft also
has an a free extension for MS Word that allows you to make LIT ebooks
from a DOC file, which I do not have. I've used Convlit and a paid
copy of Readerworks Pro a couple of times to do as you want in
addition to making my own. It was quite time consuming, but it worked.
I've only done the disassembly on a couple of free ebooks because they
were so badly put together, not on any that were purchased. I'm not
sure of the copyrights here when it comes to disassembling ans
reassembling a LIT file. I have a Pocket PC that I carry my ebooks on,
but I only carry a few at a time and keep the rest stored on my
desktop. One other thing, I mostly rename the file to be something I
can make sense of through the file manager.
