Hello, BR:
a. "Tweaks->Author sort name algorithm" - From what I can tell, this is simply the way Calibre determines the "Author_Sort" value from the "Author" field. I have already set this value and it works properly but I need to change the way Calibre 'reads' in the "Author" value.
b. "Adding Books->Reading metadata->Swap author firstname and lastname when reading author from filename" - From what I can tell, some books are read in as "fn ln" and some as "ln, fn". This tweak simply reverses it - I need to force Calibre to always enter it as "fn ln", regardless of the order it's in in the file.
c. "Adding Books->Reading metadata->Regular Expression" - it's been a long time since I have studied regular expressions (they were all in Latin then :>)) so I don't know if this is a possibilty, but I'm going to work on it now.
I'll let you know what I learn. Thanks for your help.

AFAIK - the option in the Quality Check plugin is the only way to 'fix' inconsistent initials, other than adjusting them manually when you add new books.
