You'll have to take that up with Kovid.

Thanks.
I just checked on a work and the sort name is correct (or as I expected) in Edit Metadata. And if I sort by an author column in column view (or book list or whatever you call it), they're in the place I'd like them to be. (Sorted First Name Last Name.)
But author names in the tag browser are sorted by Last Name, First Name. I guess that's where I got confused, I'd been looking for a specific author via the tag browser and they weren't where I expected them to be.
I guess so long as I know about this quirk it's fine, though I might decide to not force author into author sort if I want the same behavior everywhere. Will ponder. Also will want to make this clear in my guide.
