Problems with author sorting

jiembe · 12-18-2021, 11:05 AM

Even if my preferences are :

author_use_surname_prefixes = True

author_surname_prefixes = ['De', 'da', 'de', 'di', 'la', 'le', 'van', 'von', 'Van']

I don't get the expected sorting name "van Vogt, A. E." but instead "Vogt, A. E. van". Am I doing something wrong ?

And I can't find how you can make a sorting exception for 1 author name. (No option to do this when right clicking on the author name.)

Rules are meant to be broken.

In the Tag Browser pane: Right click the Authors name: MANAGE: Override the sort (fix it) there. It will apply to All usage
