Is it possible to display author names in a consistent spelling?

In the metadata, the names of the authors are usually written in one of the two ways:
Forename Surname
Surname, Forename

It would be nice if the second variant is rewritten to "Forename Surname" when indexing.

How would this differentiate between lists of authors (possibly in the reversed format) separated by commas? Also, the reversed format isn't standard. EPUBs should have the proper format in the dc:author element, with the reversed format in the opf:file-as property (either as a property in EPUB2 or as a refines in EPUB 3).

Sorry for the late reply...

Yes, you are right. Multiple authors would be a problem, haven't thought about this case. Obviously none of my books has multiple authors (I don't have reference or technical books as ebook...)

The reverse order may be non-standard, but about half of my books are in this form. More than 90% of the books bought in the last 2 years are in this form. Something is going wrong... ;)
