Name and last names
Hello:
I have a problem with Zotero and Spanish authors' metadata.
Spanish authors have one first name, usually no middle name, and two last names (e.g. Fernando Rivas Rebaque, in this article: https://revistas.comillas.edu/index.php/estudioseclesiasticos/article/view/8535)
Whenever I save an article to Zotero, it automatically converts the first of the two last names (Rivas, in the example) into a middle name, and sets the second of the last names (Rebaque) as the author's last name. So, instead of saving the article of the example as: "Rivas Rebaque, Fernando", it saves it as: "Rebaque, Fernando Rivas". So every time I save an article to Zotero I have then to change manually the order of the last names
Is there any way of fixing this?
Thank you very much,

You can contact the publisher and ask them to fix the metadata as described here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/368750/#Comment_368750
