The names for all solo artist in mine collection are build on last name, first name.  
I have also included this in the metadata of the files.  
however, some names are still converted to first name, last name after scanning the library

What can I do to prevent this.

Settings - Server - Agents - Albums - last.fm  
Pull the line ‘Local Media Assets’ to the top position of the list  
Repeat the same under  
Settings - Server - Agents - Artists - last.fm

[Edit your library](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289266-editing-libraries/ "Edit your library")  
go to the ‘Advanced’ tab  
tick the checkbox ‘Use embedded metatags’

Perform the full [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-incorrectly-identifying-tv-episodes/100265/4 "Plex Dance") with all albums of an affected artist.

See how that goes.
