I see I wasn't clear, my mind gets ahead of my fingers. I store as LN, FN. The author sort field appears fine when I look at the metadata, but that is probably because when it comes in as FN LN, I just copy the author sort field & paste it into the author field. (Yes the author sort field always has a red background, I've just been ignoring that.) Guess I shouldn't be doing the copy & paste thing, instead fix the author sort tweak. The author sort field is a new thing for me, as I hadn't updated for many versions because I was pretty happy with it the way it was (except kept changing my tags from first letter capital to all lower case when a new book came in from Smashwords. So was happy that got fixed & was just tolerating the author thing by not using the tag browser to look at authors).

I see I have a lot of reading to do to get up to speed with all these features & recipes (I was so excited when I figured out how to do a mass update to change the name of a tag for all instances instead of doing manually for each book.) Thanks for being patient with me kiwidude. I actually came back tonight to find out about backing up the library, as doing a Windows Copy keeps failing after a few folders. Trying to find a method that doesn't take all night or crash in the middle.
