automatic changing christian names and family names
I want all my writers in the lists as family name, christian name.
This can of course be changed book by book, but if I have a list of books, all with christian name Family name, can I change them with one command into familyname, christian name?

The plugin quality check has an option to swap between First Name Last Name to Last Name, First Name.

You need to install the plugin
Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Get new plug-ins -> select "Quality Check" (you can filter to find it easily) -> install -> add it to the main toolbar

And then click on quality check -> fix -> Swap author FN LN

You'd better hope the author is not Jewish.
