I love Calibre.

But I am in the process of standardizing 3000+ Calibre entries from my ebook library and a couple of tools would make life much easier.

I am making all my titles & Authors mixed case... so I have to re-type many of them. Any chance of getting a button (for title & author) which does a 'convert to mixed case'? (i.e. First letter of each word in Caps, the rest in lower case)

Along the same line, when I convert the Author to mixed case and then hit the Author Sort entry button, it does not switch to lower case if the only change was in the Case. I fix it by adding a single new character to the author... do the author sort and then delete the extra character form both (a pain, but it works) It would be nice if the button worked even if the entries are the same except for case.

I have a lot of entries with author as LastName, FirstName. A function would be nice to reverse this.
