Nice trick.

So you could select the entire library, go to Edit Metadata, check the Set Author Sort Automatically box then say OK, go out for pizza and when you got back the entire library would now have in the author_sort fields the reverse of what was in the author field?

As it turns out my entire library is nice and clean but this could help many folks fighting the battle.
