Ahhh, so the kindle behaves differently from kindle for PC.

K4PC displays First Last and sorts First Last, making the option useless.

I will look at the code again later this week, when life permits.

Out of curiosity, if the kindle is given 'Last, First', is there no way to make it display Last, First? It switching them back to First Last would drive me crazy. I went to a lot of trouble to ensure all authors in my library are entered Last, First, and I want to see them that way. Hmmm... perhaps *this* is why someone asked for a tweak to compute author_sort values without the comma, as in 'Last First'.
