Excellent suggestion! Any database program can only alphabetize information according to the way it is listed in the first place.
There is a program that was recommended on this Forum called KJ File Manager that will transpose long lists of names all at one time. I believe it will do what he needs. Then when he imports the songs into Hoster, they will be named the way he wants them.

That's what KJFile Manager will do - you can make BATCH changes. Check out the Demo. If you have a lot of songs to change, it would be well worth the price. Wish I had know about this a couple years ago, would have save me many hours

Well, if he wants a program just for song books (if listing Artists by first name is that important to him) the other one mentioned is SongList Generator. It will read kmas. Maybe that one will do what he wants. I guess no one program will do everything!!! Of course the best way to change kma headers is just to use the Edit in Hoster. Then all your changes are preserved.
I'm just sharing what others have shared - that's the best I can do
