I know you posted that you have your problem solved, but you also posted that you don't want a second column. It's up to you which to use, but most people who want LN, FN do not use multiple columns. You are basically doing it backwards by putting the name you don't want into author. It's not hard to do it correctly - automatically put LN, FN in both author and author_sort.

Thank you for your reaction. I've had this option turned on a few months ago but it didn't work the way I wanted. If I reverse the input, stil the authors name differs from the author sort name. I should use this and the different sort method (copy) I presume?
I can't remember stating that I didn't want a second column. I just wanted to be able to display the author sort name instead of the authors name, and with the added column thats what I get.
've tried earlier to make a column like this but I didn't know the correct field name ...
