Confused about using calibredb to update author, etc

Hello,
I noticed that some my authors were not in mypreferred format (ln, fn mi) so I used calibre db to list allmy book ids and author and saved to file. Thenedited the file to correct some author names.

I also noticed te in calibre gui the author_sort field was empty even though editing metadata shows author_sort info.

So i ran calibredb modify using book id to set author and author_sort to my edited names.

Returning to GUI, nome of telisted author names changed not did an new author_sort info appear in te list.

This has me confused. What if anything did Iaccomplish bydoingall of that?

I hope someone will enlighten me; thisis the first time using any of the cli stuff

Thank ou
