Goodreads author name sort issue

[Rachel]

Apologies if this has already been addressed, I've searched the discussion board but can't see anything which speaks to this issue.

The following author is appearing at the beginning of shelves when sorted alpha by author, although the author's last name starts with W:

I assumed this was due to how name sort/shelf view is set but since this author is a Goodreads author, I'm unable to edit details. Has anyone else seen this and/or any ideas how to fix this issue?

Thanks!

It happens from time to time with the sort field not being set correctly (or being blank).

If you use the Contact Us form, you can let staff know so they can fix it.

Hi Rachel

To add to Miriams post; as an alternative there is an existing thread we can post to request staff to edit this type of error. The thread is tricky to find as it is located in the Goodreads Feedback group. :)

Thank you both!
