Hi,

When Saving to disk or to my device (Kobo Libra 2), I use author_sort as part of the written filename. Specifically in my template, I include {author_sort:subitems(0,1)}. I use subitems to limit the filename to a single author when multiple author names are present. This has been working great... until I came to author "Ed Greenwood."

Everywhere I look in Calibre, his name appears as expected:

Author: Ed Greenwood
Author sort: Greenwood, Ed

However, when Saved to disk, the author's name appears as:

Ed, Greenwood

All other names, including those where there are multiple authors, appear correctly as LastName, FirstName. Ed is the only author appearing this way.

Is this correctible on my part? My only guess is that it may be confusing the name "Ed" as an abbreviation for "Editor," but my many searches online have come up empty.

Thanks!
