Is there a way to automatically change author to be the same than author sort?
E.g. change Isaac Asimov to Asimov, Isaac?

I have quite a few books in my library and don't want to do it manually.

Thank you,

It just occurred to me that Calibre will let you create your collections from the author_sort field if you change the device interface plugin setting from tags, series to just author_sort (see attached) then all of you collections would be based on the author_sort field. In my case all collections would be Last Name, first name - example - Asimov, Isaac.
