Calibre stores internally the title and a "sorted title". Title often starting with articles like "A" in english, or "Die/Der/Das" in german, which make no sense to sort after, therfore all of the listed words in these field are ignored for sorting the title. The default is taken from a german Calibre program. For french it should be something like "^(Le|La)\s"
**Link Read/Unread Status to Calibre Column:**\
For a Calibre-Web multiuser usecase, please leave this field empty. In this case Calibre-Web stores the read status in it's own database.
In a single user Calibre installation you can use a boolean custom column to keep track of your read and unread books. Calibre-web can do the following. You can link the Calibre status to the read/unread status in Calibre-Web. As mentioned above this only works in a SINGLE USER use-case. If you are having more than one user in Calibre-Web this will cause trouble, because the read/unread status is used for all users, so if one user ticks a book as read, all users will see this book as read. In a multiuser Calibre-Web use case it's absolutly manatory not to use this feature.\
How to use the feature?
1. Open Calibre (the Desktop program) and create a boolean custom column name it accordingly (e.g. Read Status)
