Question Author Sort from FN LN to LN, FN

Hi All:

Way back when I changed my author sort to Copy so that it matches the author field of FN LN. I would now like to change it to LN, FN. I used the invert option in the tweaks but it is not changing it. Can you help me figure out what setting I am missing to change it to work for FN LN for the author field, and LN, FN for the author sort field??

Changing the tweak only changes it for new books.

If you want to do it for existing books then select them and invoke the Edit Metadata dialog. On there is a checkbox you can use to tell Calibre to recalculate the author_sort field.

I tried that but it is not doing anything to change it.

EDIT: Now I feel like an idiot, if I would have read the notes in the tweak I would have found my answer. Thanks Itimpi for pointing me in the right direction.

I do FN LN in Authors, with tweak for author_sort set as 'invert'. After I changed that tweak way back when, I did have to recalculate author sort in Manage Authors.
