Rebuild "author sort" field
Hello everyone,
I know this might sound silly, but... Is there a way to "rebuild" the author sort field - other than going entry by entry? - I have accidentally deleted it in all my entries (... replaced it with a blank space, in fact) and now the database does not "sort" by author at all. Thanks in advance and greetings from sunny Madrid, -Enrique |
