reverseName for ArtistSort, SingerSort - ruckmann - 05-05-2014 20:16

Hi Simon,

I just discovered the new "reverseName" Feature and tried to use it.
First of all, this is a Feature I really like because it helps a lot to reduce efforts in maintaining tag values.

The new feature works almost fine, except the following issue I was facing. After applying "reverseName" to singersort, artistsort (used for soloist only), conductorsort and composersort and introducing the following tagformat to display an Album title together with all the musicians contributing to that album:
Artist.displayFormat={$singersort$artistsort$band$chorus$orchestra$conductorsort​^$date$venue^ (^)}
all the names shown in the list appear correctly (means first Name first, last Name last), except the very first one. The first one is still shown in the format lastname, firstname. If have for instance an opera album with a series of singers, the first singer name is displayed lastname, firstname, all the other correctly with firstname lastname.

I am pretty sure that you either come up with a quick bug fix or with a good workaround recommendation :-)
