Fix commas in author FROM author_sort
Hello,
Before people go bananas; I'm a Calibre n00b. Yes, I have read the manual, and yes I have searched and read forum posts. I've found lots about this, but no clear explanation regarding how to do what I want to do (probably because the questions posted about it were patently unclear, and thus the responses were not terribly helpful). So, here is my query: I have many, many documents that I have collected over the last two decades which I use for my research (philosophy). I want to use calibre to manage them, and it's amazing. My only hitch is that about 90% of my documents imported with the author field: LN, FN ![]() and the author_sort field: LN, FN ![]() What I would like to know is if there is a way to automagically bulk-edit change this to author field: FN LN ![]() and the author sort field: LN, FN ![]() There is a button to go from author FN LN to author_sort LN, FN in the bulk edit, but not the reverse. Any help? |

Try the Quality Check plugin. It has function to look for these and fix them.
