Search for metadata errors

Gary Young · 11-19-2012, 03:38 PM

I want to search my library for any books where "Author" is not equal to "Author sort" or where "Title" is not equal to "Title sort". Then I will check and fix these problems.

These are the errors that show up with a red background if you look at the "edit Metadata" pop-up for each book, but I really don't want to click through the entire library, one book after another.

Can anyone suggest a search criteria to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Gary

The Quality Check plugin can do that.

I'll give it a try.
