BzKevin · 10-19-2014, 08:10 PM

I have done some further experimental research and discovered the following:

a. the template: ({author_sort}){series: | - |} gives the expected result of: (Williams, Tad) - Shadowmarch

b. Using the same template as above, things start to get weird again if there is a comma in the series name. Such as Memory, Sorrow & Thorn. Which results in: (Williams, Sorrow & Thorn, Tad) - Memory

This experimenting leads me to believe there is some kind of bug in the formatting of author_sort. If anyone has found a work around or knows that this is not a bug, but in fact human error I would greatly appreciate your help!

I will continue to explore and post any results of interest to this thread.

Thanks
