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. |

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. Last edited by nynaevelan; 12-28-2013 at 10:48 AM. |

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.
