Author in Upper Case, Author Sort in Lower Case?

Reciently had a computer failure.

Bought new computer, installed Calibre on the new computer and transferred Calibre Library from old computer hard drive to new computer.

Started up Calibre and loaded library. Data looks good. (will just need to rebuild all my preferences and custom columns and little tweaks)

However I noticed a problem.

A bunch of books I added a few months before the failure when viewed in Edit Medadata, show a pink square for Author Sort...

When the button to automatically resolve the Author sort is pressed the Name changes to lower case.

Before: John Doe - Doe, John (pink square for Author Sort)

After: John Doe - doe, john (Author sort now green)
[manually editing either field has no effect]


At first I thought maybe teh Author was in lower case, but when viewed in the Author Tag Browser John Doe shows as capitalized
