Authors - How to make all FirstName Lastname?
Authors - How to make all FirstName Lastname?
I have many books in library. Some have authors shown as "John Smith", but others as "Smith, John". Is there a quick way to make them all the first of those orders? |

The Quality Check plugin has an option under Fix > Swap Author FN LN <-> LN, FN that should do the job.

I had never come across plugins, and so that was a useful bit of learning. I suppose every problem can be treated as a learning opportunity. The Quality Check plugin was able to find all the author names with commas and the fix them to FN LN. Once more, thanks very much - and, if you have time, what should I learn next? |
