I set the Author column to reflect the Author_sort setting. The Author_sort was set to comma "fn ln -> ln, fn". How can I reverse this process so the Author column goes back to first name last name? I tried to use the tweak command to invert however it will not invert correctly a first name - middle name - last name and it still shows commas. I tried noncomma tweak and although it inverts first name and last name the middle name is again wrong (at least no more commas). Does anyone have a tip on how to fix this? I'm sure there has to be a regex where it can simply switch what's in between commas and then remove that comma? thanks in advance.
