More weirdness with author Dennis L. McKiernan when I click on the arrow to copy to author sort I get Mckiernan, Dennis L..
I don't know what is causing the change in case in these. It is quite a pain.
As author sort is used when doing a copy to disk this is quite a pain.
Also, for all the St. James or whatever and Le Guin or whatever is there any way to have a list of those authors?

My guess is that this is what shows up as the author sort in your database. If you right-click on Authors and select "Manage Authors", you'll get a list you can edit, which will then affect the proper sort for these authors (only in the current database). If the first book by McKiernan originally listed him as Mckiernan when imported, that was the default sort entered. Once you modify it, all McKiernan books will recognize the change. You can make the same manual modification for Le Guin, St. James, ab Hugh, da Vinci, etc.
All the Quality Check does is check to see that each individual book matches what is currently set in the author sort table - what you see in the Manage Authors window. If the sort isn't what you want, Quality Check isn't going to help.
