@Rob557 - Every time I think I understand the author name handling something comes along that I don't understand.

I can't get the behaviour you are getting even if I try - see first attachment. No matter what value I put in Author sort name algorithm, what you see is what I get with that first template

Surely the regex expression in the Add Books controls is limited to extraction?

To change the name (after extracting) you would need a replace regex... wouldn't you? Something like "\2 \1", where \2 was the last token and \1 was everything before the last token.

Added : I added the file Tom Jones - My Book.epub with that template, the resultant Metadata is shown in second attachment

Can you confirm that's what you want, because I may be misunderstanding you ?
