So, "LN, FN" will produce collections for both "LN" and "FN".
And for the record, the plugboard I use for authors is:
Code:
{authors:'re(re($, '(.*) & ', '\1 and '), ' & ', ', ')'}

So are you saying it's not possible to sort by first name in book view?
Not sure what your plugboard does....definitely above my pay grade.
