If you use author sort = "copy" then the exact author name you enter into the field will be used for sorting, without a comma. But that means you are going to have to do the necessary work to enter information the way you want it to appear. Every other user of this software has had to do the same thing for their unique needs.

I do not think that it is as you say because in the faq site I have read about commands that should not put the comma (but don't work for me), then they also know that many person do not want the comma. And I think it's obvious, it is much easier to rename some names wrong than having to remove the comma at all
