Currently the author metadata has been entered for various books as

Doctor Sandra Cabot
Sandra Cabot MD
Sandra Cabot MD & Margaret Jasinska ND

Should I change it to

Sandra Cabot only
and add another author metadata for any co-authors?

The Tag editor is the place to correct the existing records.
2 things to do:
1) rename Doctor Sandra Cabot to:
2) Modify the Author Sort for MD, Sandra Cabot to Cabot MD, Sandra
(sorts properly in C's not M's )
