Dear theducks:
Oh. I see. Elegant solution. I didn't think of it from that direction at all, but it makes great sense. Thank you.
Maybe this is a "cake & eat it situation for me, but my remaining issue is how to generate a catalog which includes the Main Authors index. The only way I can see to include a custom column in a catalog is to include the Descriptions and merge in the Custom Column with the Comments.
That won't give me an index by Authors, and the Authors index is only populated by the native Authors db, so that will give me my problem of impossibly long Author entries in the catalog for anthologies. This may be a case of picking a personal priority and sticking with it. I may have to let the other go until someone else figures it out.
Unless I'm just missing something, I can't customize the Catalog generation plugin, and I can't find a tweak for this.
Thank you for the solution; I really do like the approach. You have been most generous with your time.
