Yea, I was a bit fast and loose when organising authors, and I think I removed commas and switched back and forth a few times between author and author_sort before I finally understood what it actually did!


But I think I've finally found a solution.

All my messed-up authors with initials at the end also have a period at the end, so I searched for this with Regex using \.$ which shows all of these messed up initials, and then I just grab "author only" metadata for these books for less risk of messing up the rest of the metaadata..

It's a bit of a hack but it seems to have worked on the first few that I tried, so I think I'll just go fast and loose again on the rest of these messed up ones and then apply the downloaded author metadata without checking each one individually, since there are about 500 of them!

Fingers crossed..
