Did you accidentally select "Hide category _____"
There is another right-click option beneath that, to re-show a hidden category.

I'm trying to get a consistent standard for author sort in each library, different in a history library than a fiction library. In a history library, I could use a mix of n, and n, cn, pn, and ln, fn, and ln, fn, depending on the authors. In a fiction library, I just can't deal with a mix of n and ln, fn, so I'm standardizing everything on either n, or fn, ln.
Sounds like you really want that tweak then.

I can't really make sense of the tweaks, but thanks.
  1. Select your tweak. -- "Author sort name algorithm"
  2. Modify the tweak value. -- set to "copy"
  3. Apply the new value to the tweak.
  4. Save the Tweak Preferences and exit.
