Question More Information - Author Names

Hello:

Regarding the question about "Quality Check | Fix | Swap Author FN LN <-> LN", it was really a two part question:

a. I cannot seem to be able to always force the author name to be 'added' as FN LN; sometimes they come in as FN LN and sometimes they come in as LN, FN. I would like to find an option which always brings them in as FN LN.
b. Since I can't ensure the authors come in as FN LN (a. above) I need to be able to change them. Therefore I would like to see an option in Quality Check which might be "Conditional Swap LN, FN -> FN LN" where if the name is already FN LN nothing would happen but if the name was LN, FN, it would swap the format to FN LN. I don't know how to contact Grant Drake (author of Quality Check) or I would ask him directly!

The reason I would like to see this option is because I'm not perfect. In fact, yesterday I added a large number of books and, in attempting to select only those that were in LN, FN format I missed several that were already in the correct format and I wound up converting some that I had to convert back!

Thanks in advance for any advice!
