Author Name mismatch

Hi I have been a user of calibre for sometime. but still cant figure out how to fix the issue of mismatch in author and author sort and title and title sort

Doesn't clicking the little green arrow to the right of the author name do it for you? (I'm assuming there are some strange invisible characters in one of the fields that are breaking the match in that screen shot.)

In addition to Pdurrant answer for single instances

Get the Quality Check plugin (Preferences: Get plugins)
It can help identify these (Author, Title sort) issues
then simply select the results of the test: Tap 'E" (bulk metadata edit): then tick the appropriate (Update Tittle sort OR Automatically set Author Sort)

Excellent still effective.

Found all the instances of author sort mismatch before I created my latest Catalogue.

Such a useful plugin when you have to do a mass edit. It will also point you to those books that will benefit from using the Modify ePub plugin to remove in bulk such dross as Adobe xpgt files. Much quicker.
