Swap Author First and Last Name

dvd8n · 05-05-2020, 02:58 PM

Is there an easy way to swap first and last names of authors in metadata?

I've got some books that have a tendency to import with the name order swapped.

Is there a button somewhere that will swap an author's name on demand when I spot that it's wrong, rather than having to retype it?
