I'm a noob when it comes to expressions so any help will be welcomed 

Here are the fields I am using...

MC Default Fields
Artist
People

Custom Fields
Artist: Additional - List semicolon delimited
Artist: List - Expression: ListCombine([Artist],[Artist: Additional])
Artist: Sync - Expression: If(IsEqual(Artist: List], [People], 0),Yes,No)

I copied the Artist: List field to the People field and use the Artist: Sync field to make sure that both are the same but I can’t seem to get it to work, the Artist: Sync field. It keeps saying that the 2 fields are not synced.

What I wanted to do from the start was to use the Artist: List field as a List (semicolon delimited) field but doesn’t seem to work that way…or am I doing something wrong? Maybe there is a work around that I don’t know about.

It looks like there's a bracket missing around Artist: List in the sync expression.  Could that be it?

And remember that compare will not be equal unless the list and the order of the list is the same.

Which is only one of the reasons I keep asking if it's possible for MC to save its list fields in alphabetical order in the same way a certain 'other program' does?
yay or nay?

Stupid me... That was it

Since I am using the Copy/Move Fields tool (Copy Artist: List -----> People) the only way that the two fields will not equal is if I alter the Artist or Artist: Additional fields.
