Using Calibre 4.1 x64 I have the tweak for author_sort_copy_method set to u'copy'. Which, if I read the help properly, should simply copy over the author into author sort.

BUT, if I have an author like "Anne McCaffrey - Pegasus 01" (which I'm in the process of cleaning up) I get an author sort of "01, Anne McCaffrey - Pegasus".

Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't it just copy the whole thing over without touching it? Is there another option to really JUST copy?

Thanks!

P.S. If it matters, this is after using Edit Metadata -> Automatically set author sort.
