In the Library, you can filter on author name by entering the name either as "last, first" or "first last"; and even the middle initial is optional and/or ignored. I can search in my Library for author:"Packer, J. I." or author:"J. I. Packer" or author:"J Packer" and all give me the same books (42 results).

But in the "Add to Library" tab, you have to enter the author's name as "last, first" or it won't work:

And yet in my Library...

The store website also can deal with the "first last" format:

But it can't handle a missing middle initial (I'll report that separately in the logos.com forum.)
