    Lists are usually delimited with semicolons or some other character other than commas, since they are used to separate last and first names, and main clauses from its articles. Therefore, artist-sort with a comma delimiter on input is not meaningful. For example,

    Artist = John Doe, Phoenix River >> John Doe; Phoenix River
    Artist Sort = Doe, John, River, Phoenix >> Doe, John;River,Phoenix

    Please consider adjusting.

    Thanks for your efforts.

    Hi J.P.,

    So just to be clear, you'd like lists to be colon-delimited rather than comma-delimited?

    Well, any character that does not interfere with the code, is normally in names, or a comma. I commonly see semicolons (;), backslash (), double-backslash (\) or pipe (|) being used.

    Thanks for considering.

      OK, that should be easy enough
