Hi,
i had lot of books with flipped author field, in format <author
lastname>, <author names> eg Salvatore, R. A. so all ebook collection
was in mess (books were sorted by author name not last name).
I wrote mechanism to clean name Salvatore, R.A -> R. A. Salvatore, for
now its don't modify multiple author fields and other "messy" ones (so
its more or less safe)

I am not sure about proposed UI, please let me know if i have to change it.
If You consider my changes useful or have some suggestions please let
me know too.
Im going to work on more sophisticated cleaning mechanism (eg multiple
authors handling) and "auto author sort" in the future.
