Can I compare a frontmatter key from one note with a key in another?

[ReaderGuy42]

So I have one note for a book, which includes the frontmatter:

Author: Stephen King

and another note for the author, which includes the name:

Name: Stephen King

Now in the author note, I want a Query to list/table all the books of that author.

So far I've got this (thanks to someone on the Forum):

```dataview
TABLE WITHOUT ID
	("![](" + Cover + ")") AS Cover,
	link(file.link, Alias) AS "Title",
	Year AS Published
FROM 
    "Book Log"
WHERE Author = this.file.link
SORT DateFinished asc

This works if the name of the author file is exactly the value of the Author field in the book note, and the book note Author field is formatted like "[[Stephen King]]".
However, I'd prefer to have the author notes be lastname-firstname so it's easier to alphabetize.

So is it possible somehow to compare the two keys in the different notes and if the values are the same list the note, e.g.

WHERE Author = this.file.Name or something like that? Is this possible?
Thanks :)

I had been looking at the documentation, but only now found what I was looking for. I'll leave this up for others who might be looking for this:
= this.someMetadataField will do that. I had been using this.file.something which won't work. Now it's perfect
