RE: Best method for "firstname lastname" to "lastname, firstname"
I set up my system before the reverseName capability was added to MinimServer, and I use separate Composer and ComposerSort tags. The indexTags property has ComposerSort:Composer, and Composer is in itemTags. I also use ComposerSort in the Album.sortTags value of the tagOptions property, and the tagFormat property includes the value 'ComposerSort.displayFormat={$composer}'.

Composer tags are in the format 'Johannes Brahms', and ComposerSort tags are 'Brahms, Johannes. I use an MP3Tag action to create the ComposerSort Tags. The workings of this action are described in my post #7 in this thread

My method as a whole may not work for you, but I hope that this post provides some ideas and resources you can use.
