Question Author conversion

Hello,

the displayed names of the authors varies between "name, firstname" and "firstname name". Author Sort works fine in both cases, since it's always sorted "name, firstname". But I'm not happy with the mixed display.
As there any way to (bulk)change all books with "name, firstname" to "firstname name"? I've done that manually in many cases, but it's boring, since the database keeps growing.

The Quality check Plugin has an option to re-order author names
