Comment 2 for bug 1880395

Windows 10, 64 bit Calibre 4.17

Usually I have Epubs set up Author First Last and Author Sort Last,First
When I convert to AZW, I want to change Author to match Author Sort
In every version, except now 4.17, I highlight a group of books in the main screen (though I don't think that is a necessary step), right click on Authors in left hand column which brings up the selections. I click on Author management, then the button at the bottom of the new window that pops open that says Copy all author sort values to author. The window closes, the jobs spinner rotates, and after a short pause, all the entries in the author column in the main window change from First Last to Last, First. Now in version 4.17, when I try this process that has worked all along, everything proceeds as before, only when the author management window closes, the job spinner does not move, and the First Last author listing remains unchanged.
