Yes, I can see that. I was asking because on my books collection I have authors put in FN LN format, and my authors_sort is LN, FN. This causes the "Authors" view in left to look messy - authors are shown in FN LN, but sort order is different.

I am tempted to change authors to LN, FN, but I am hesitated to make a change. Or, I just make authors_sort to be FN, LN. Which way is preferred?
