How do I sort by Author?
It seems like it always uses Author-Sort but sometimes I want it by Author field (FN-MN-LN etc.)

The only way I can think of is to create a column built from other columns that copies the author column. It will sort by its contents, the authors' names, not author sort.

I have such a column, I don't show it in the book list, when I want to sort on it I use the Sort by tool.
