Just adding a cautionary note with regards to how the RegEx "test" works under Preferences / Adding Books.

While applying that RegEx test, it turns out that the test results are NOT immediately/ directly affected by checking or unchecking the option box "Swap author, firstname and lastname". Instead, the test results will be dependent only on whether that box was checked or unchecked THE LAST TIME the option selection was saved using the "apply" button.

That explains why, in my prior image attachment, the test results still show the firstname and lastname flipped around even though the option box is not checked. So long as the option box is unchecked, the actual results will be okay if that option selection is saved, and even the test results will be okay the next time the "Preferences / Adding books" RegEx test is run with that option box unchecked.
