When I create a smart shelf and sort by creator "begins with" and then a letter it shows creators who have first names that start with that letter.
For example, I created a smart shelf for creators who have names that begin with "R". This shelf shows Rick Astley but not J.K. Rowling.
Is there a way I can create a smart shelf that sorts by last name in DL2?
I’m
frustrated
How can I create a Smart Shelf by last name?

this isn't completely fool proof, but try Creater contains ' R'
ie. put a space before the character you are using in the value field when creating a shelf. -

see the caveat above, it isn't completely foolproof for that exact reason.
you'd have to be able to use a regex to get an absolute hit. Now the matching criteria is supposed to use Regex, but I haven't been able to successfulyl use it (in the absence of a Help Manual) however the regex i'd use woudl be something like this.
.*\sR[^\s]$
to get the last word of the string with a matching first character of name -

I’m
mac regexs are a little different than what im used to
kk- i rule
Creator Matches .*R[:alnum:]+[:space:]*$ -
are
a
genius.
It's almost perfect except when you have creators with middle names or something that may also have " R".
