Author Name

Mamaijee · 12-04-2018, 02:49 PM

When I download a .azw book into Calibre, it shows in Author column as LN,FN. I would like to switch this so that authors show as FN LN. What setting should I change?

Thank u.

@Mamaijee - try Add-Books->Control the adding of Books->Reading Metadata->Swap author firstname and lastname when reading author from filename

I don't have a PhD in Amazon vagaries, so no guarantee

I don't worry about that when adding. Different sources, some WILL be wrong.
Quality check Plugin: Fix: Swap (selected) Authors Fn<>Ln
