Is this info actually listed anywhere? The book publishers don't seem to be following the rules.

I'm going to see if standardizing on Last, First will fix the problem.

I suspect you are right, the protocol isn't being followed, but it's not obvious what the protocol is, exactly.

I even have a book sort by an author's last name of "Jr."

The reason I’m interested in all this is so my Amazon purchases and PD stuff will be consistent. I have a batch file for mobi2mobi set up so I can go through and easily change authors on all my books to be whatever the standard is.
