Strange behavior in author order.

[dunhill]

If I am going to manage authors and order the columns, I have noticed that it is ordered by author's last name, is there any way to order it by author's name?

What dialog is that? It isn't the Manage Authors dialog available from the tag browser. That dialog has only 3 columns, as shown in the attachment.

If it is the booklist and not some "manage authors" dialog then no, the authors column is always sorted by the value in author_sort. If you want a different sort then change the author_sort value, for example changing the tweak 'Author sort name algorithm (ID: author_sort_copy_method)' then recomputing all the author_sort values using the Manage Authors dialog.
