I've gotten some books from Amazon, and the author name always shows up in Calibre as LN, FN, with the author sort also being LN, FN. I want the author column to display FN LN, but sort on LN, FN. Books from other places don't seem to have this issue.

Is it my Calibre settings that is causing this or are Amazon books coded this way? I searched the forums a year or so ago and thought that I fixed the problem but now I'm beginning to think that I just wasn't getting any books from Amazon at the time and didn't realize the issue was still there.

Is there a setting that I can change to override Amazon's display author? I'm really getting tired of changing these manually. I'm sorry if this has been answered a million times, but I couldn't locate the answer I thought I found before.

Thank you!
