A lot of my artists in Apple Music are in the wrong order due to the sort fields being set to last name first.
Is there a way to change all these to first name first? or
Is there a script out there that can remove all these 'sort as' fields so I don't have to remove them individually??

Hi,
If you want to sort by first name, you can delete information in the ‘Sort as’ field. The sorting will then default to the name shown in Artist/ Album Artist field. The only exception is for names starting with ‘The’ which is dropped and sorted by group name.
You can do this in bulk or for each artist separately.

Hi,
Thank you, this solved my issue.
I was trying to select all artists in bulk but It is not possible to highlight more then one. I had to select all songs instead, Right click - Get Info - Sorting tab, I found 'Mixed' greyed out in all boxes. Selecting the Album Artist 'sort as' field and the Artist 'sort as' field then pressing backspace on both, then ok, starting the moving process.
Thanks
