I'm thinking of using a batch editor such as mp3tag to redo all the composer tags as "lastname, firstname," and then use the "reverseName" tag option. (I didn't do this originally because I'm not sure the ripping program I used at the time initially had that option). Is that the best way?
SortNames fields are designed exactly for this. My own view is that using a sortname provided from a 3rd party database such as MusicBrainz is more reliable then trying to do it manually because of exceptions, translations ectera.
