OK, Thanks

I've just noticed that the isbndb server has authors in `Fred Bloggs' format. Yet the PRS505 _requires_ `Bloggs, Fred' to sort properly. And many of the LRF books posted on this forum have `Bloggs, Fred'. I presume that's because they've been posted by PRS owners who are aware of this restriction.

Grrrr! Why is there no consistency in this area? It wouldn't matter, except that I'm in the process of importing about 2000 books, and I want to minimse the amount of manual fiddling I have to do.
