Disagree. Authors and books have different sort values. You can choose to set the book's value different from what is generated from the author's, and this *should* be red flagged to tell you that you have done that.

and if there's a button defined as "generate author sort from author field" then it should do exactly that, not stubbornly quote some previously held value.
Again, disagree. The button should generate an author sort consistent with the values stored with the author, if that author already exists.
