Applying author sort changes

Thranduilien · 05-12-2022, 04:15 PM

I prefer my order to be first name and then last name. It is displayed this way, but it sorts by last name, first name. I've found the tweak spot to change it, but after I do so the apply button is greyed out. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what.

This is what it is:
author_sort_copy_method = 'comma'

This is what I'm trying to change it to be:
author_sort_copy_method = 'copy'

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, this is very aggravating.

did you TYPE the new value into current setting ( replace the word comma, with copy.)
Then the Apply will write out (save) the current Tweak setting (only). Remember to then apply the main Preferences (this applies the overall Tweak session).

The window is probably too small to see the "Apply changes to this tweak" button and you are ignoring the scroll bar that will make the button visible. See the attached screen captures.
