2. Fix the titles.

Or, will this only work when adding titles which means I have to delete all of them and re-add?

Sorry I am so dumb but most of this is very, very confusing to allow for everything but it's awful confusing - The three you mention I still don't understand - I simply had to guess from among the remaining choices because I knew the one that was there didn't work like I wanted it to!!

Thanks for your help.

(a setting change only affects NEW adds)

Fot Authors, there are 2 ways:
use the same procedure for Titles (but tick: Automatically Set Author sort)

OR
Open the Tag Browser right Click on Authors: Manage Authors: <see the buttons at the bottom>

For Titles there are 2 ways

Use the Quality check PI to detect Author sort errors.
then select all results, use the FIX section

or
select all (or just wrong): tap 'E" for bulk metadata edit: TicUpdate title sort (near the bottom)
Select All books
