When input from author_sort is for example " Goyal, Kovid" regex above produces " K Goyal".
How the regex matches the string and how replaces the field? |
As shown by the attached screenshot, it doesn't produce "
K Goyal" but instead produces "
Goyal, K", which is what I would expect from the regex.
Where are you seeing the result you say you get? If it is on a device then the device is changing it. Nothing the plugboard can do about that. Workarounds might be available but you should ask in the devices forum, naming your device.
