Example:

A song by Kenny Rogers, should be entered as Rogers,Kenny.

Or Kenny Rogers & Dolly Partin would be Rogers & Dolly Partin,Kenny

The Beatles should be Beatles,The to get it to list under "B" instead of "T".
In order for artist name to print out correctly there MUST be a [spacebar] between the comma and 2nd half of the artist name...

i.e. NOT ---> Rogers,Kenny

it should be: Rogers, Kenny

NOTE that between "Rogers" and "Kenny" there is a comma AND a space.

The formatting program uses that comma+space as a delimiter to know where to reverse names and alphabetize properly. If you don't include the space, then "Rogers,Kenny" will ALWAYS print as "Rogers,Kenny" no matter which option (first name or last name first) you choose because the program won't know where to make the division.
