ReverseName - functionality?

[Klaus57]

It seems to me, that "reverseName" only works, if there is a "," between first and last name; is this a bug or a feature?

I guess it's a feature, because there are names like "Gabriel Gracia Marquez" where "Garcia Marquez" is the last name. No chance to know that without the comma.

Yes, that's the reason. MinimServer reverses "lastname(s), firstname(s)" to "firstname(s) lastname(s)" but not the other way round.

Understood, seems to be logical from this point of view. So I have to manually update the tags before using "reverseName" feature

See this post for some guidance on how this can be automated using Mp3tag.

Thanks, a really good solution - I try it as soon as possible.
