I've really tried to get my head around this thread but not sure I get it.

Using the new plugboards in .21 I can set my title in Kindle to be Series No Title which is just fantastic.

I then tried to work out the author thing. In Calibre I have Author(s) as FN LN and Author Sort LN, FN.

If I then in my plugboard set author_sort as source template and destination to authors I see no change in how Kindle previously displayed things. If I change the destination field to author_sort, the Kindle sorts on the LN - which is an improvement - but the Kindle still displays it as FN LN.

Now, do I understand it correctly that the only way for me to have Kindle display and sort the Author as LN FN is to manually change my Author Sort to LN FN by removing the comma in my current Author Sort, i.e. LN, FN?
