I like them to be in the format Ln, Fn and can do this easily with Quality Check.

looking for a simpler quicker way other then going through all the authors in the Tag Browser and selecting them and adding them to a virtual library manually then running the quality check plugin > fix >swap author Fn Ln <->Ln,Fn

I found a search regex code on the forums
Code:
author:,
to do this but for Ln, Fn not the reverse searching for FN LN with no comma?

After reading https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=125428 I found the search option for no commas in a author field and I notice that after running it, it finds and "Marks" the books. Is there a way to isolate the marked books, or a method to create a virtual library for these?

Nevermind, figured it out, after running the search in Quality Check, I then used the create virtual library, and the search expression was already there "marked:authors_no_commas"

Such a wonderful plugin Quality Check is.
Pass1 Discover using the QC PI check function
Select all (marked results)
Fass2 Fix using the QC PI 'Fix' function. Note Fix Flips whatever was there and can not fix a mixed bag: Smith, Tom & Mike Jones. One of those will be wrong
