Where I can do what?

That way, if you enter an author by clicking a cell in the main view and using the F2 key, the author_sort value is entered correctly.

1) The author is already there.
2) Which cell I have to click?
3) Using the F2 key results only in a less light to completely darkening screen.

Also, in Metadata Edit, you can quickly tell based on the color, if everything matches.

Yes and No!

Correct Author sort shows red.

Manage Authors does not update the per-book values.

Is that what you mean: Whether I edit a book by an author in Edit metadata individually or more books with Edit metadata in bulk edit in relation to the writing of the author: Manage Authors page does not accept the changes. Yes or No!?

Those must be reset by hand as well (you can do that from Bulk Edit Metadata, just select all books and press "E" for "Edit Metadata").

What is to reset or do I want to reset anything at all?

All I wanted is that in Edit Metadata the Author sort entry shows the same upper/lower case than the Author(s) entry.

And the only way to realize that is: Recalculate all author sort values in Manage Authors
