I have already agreed several posts up that changing the case of an author should also change the case of the sort value stored with that author. That change is done.

The button does generate something. It generates a sort value for the book from the values stored with the authors, consistent with what is found in the relevant FAQ section, and in the user guide's sentence "You can click the button next to author sort to automatically to have |app| automatically fill it from the author name."

However, recognizing the ambiguity in the above sentence, I have changed it to be "You can click the button next to author sort to have |app| automatically fill it in using the sort values stored with each author. Use the ``Manage authors`` dialog to see and change the authors' sort values. This dialog can be opened by clicking and holding the button next to author sort."
