I started loading my books (2 years & many Calibre versions ago) as author name first. That is the way it came in from Amazon for the first books I loaded & I would change books that came in differently. Made it easier to find where the classics came in with different versions of an author, such as 'Frank Baum' vs 'L Frank Baum'.

Viewing the author in tag browser used to display authors correctly. Sometime several versions ago this changed & now G authors show 'Bernard, Max G' and 'Lloyd, Gary' instead of authors with the last name starting with G. Don't really understand why it is using the author field instead of the author sort field to determine the tags. How do I fix this so that I see the authors by last name without changing all the author names in my database?

Thanks for any help.
