Feature suggestion - recaculate single author sort

In the MANAGE AUTHORS screen, it would be helpful to be able to recalculate just ONE author's sort value. Maybe this could go into the right-click menu, just under COPY TO AUTHOR SORT.

Done, in the context menu for author sort. The change should be in source sometime tomorrow.

You're welcome.

If I might ask, under what conditions would you use this? Manage authors recalculates the author sort if the author is changed, as does editing the author in Edit Metadata (single & bulk) and on the booklist. How do you change the author without also changing that author's sort value?
