All of my authors are listed in the author column, by FN>LN, but I want them to be LN>FN.
I did step 1 and 2. Then, I added 6 new books. The new books appear as LN>FN, but the old books are still FN>LN.
I tried to do step 3, but I am misunderstanding something. I opened Manage Authors dialogue, and I am stuck.
What does step 3 mean? Do I need to manually, retype each author's names to LN>FN?
With over 2,000 books, it looks like there has to be an easier way.
What am I missing? TIA
Steps:
1. Set the author_sort_copy_method tweak to copy as described above.
2. Restart calibre. Do not change any book metadata before doing the remaining steps.
3. Change all author names to LN, FN using the Manage authors dialog.
4. After you have changed all the authors, press the Recalculate all author sort values button.
5. Press OK, at which point calibre will change the authors in all your books. This can take a while.
