Sort by Creator depends on creator fields option (and should not)

In order to introduce a creator one can make that with one single field (name(s) first and surname(s) last) all together or with two fields (surname(s) first in one field and then name(s) in another field). The option to switch this is useful in order to introduce different names, sometimes more suitable in a form or other.

However, when one sorts the items in a collection by Creator, sorting should not depend on this, since then some creators are placed on their name (one creator field) and other on their surname (two creator fields), which is a bit odd.

Thanks!

    No, that is a misunderstanding. You should only use single field names for names that will always appear as such (e.g., organizations) and therefore also sort in that order

    Thanks @adamsmith. Let's say I want to correct now all the items where I have introduced persons as single field names. Is there some way (using advanced search or Run JavaScript) to search them?
