Formatting of author names.

Hi.

I just sorted my library by author, and noted that some people (W.E. Vine, for example) have duplicate entries. The issue looks to be one of punctuation and whitespace. For the sake of sorting and grouping, perhaps all whitespace and punctuation should be ignored - or you should be using indicies for authors internally?

[Edit: Actually, ignoring punctuation will be insufficient: A.W. Pink has Walkington spelt out in one instance and not in another]
