If I go to edit metadata in bulk and just just tick the box for "automatically set author sort", nothing happens. It will be showing the same red box in author sort if I try to edit metadata individually afterwards. That is if I got your advice right.
Even if I manually press the sort button in the individual edit, or manual write my preferred sort value in the bulk edit, the actual sorting will not change. The only thing that has changed is the author sort value in the edit metadata dialog, not the author sort value in the manager author dialog. The only way I can make it correct after loading the file is to manually change the sort value in the author manager.
I get a feeling that I just need to change a setting somewhere, but I can't figure where that would be.
