When editing the Metadata if I have the author's name as FN LN and click on the button to copy the author name to the Author sort field I want it copied as FN LN. I changed and applied the tweak for the Author sort name algorithm (ID: author_sort_copy_method) from comma to copy but this did not give me the results I was expecting. Sometimes it will copy as expected (e.g. FN LN) and other times I get LN, FN.

Also with the title, if the title is "The William S Club" and I click on the button to copy the title to the title sort field I want it to appear in the title sort field as "The William S Club", e.g. I do not want it changed.
@jgt1942 - Try playing with the per_language_title_sort_articles Tweak. I think if you remove the articles (The, A, An) then they wont get shoved to the back.

Added : Also in Manage Authors try clicking the Recalculate all author sort values that should force all the authors_sort values to conform to the author_sort_method Tweak - ie if its invert and the author column is Fred Bloggs then the author-sort will be changed to Bloggs, Bill etc.
