You can change it in Calibre.

Go to "Preferences", then "Tweaks".

You will see a long list of customizable options, look for "Author Sort Name Algorithm"

The instructions are in the top box, as follows:

Quote:
The algorithm used to copy author to author_sort
Possible values are:
invert: use "fn ln" -> "ln, fn" (the default algorithm)
copy : copy author to author_sort without modification
comma : use 'copy' if there is a ',' in the name, otherwise use 'invert'
nocomma : "fn ln" -> "ln fn" (without the comma)
When this tweak is changed, the author_sort values stored with each author
must be recomputed by right-clicking on an author in the left-hand tags pane,
selecting 'manage authors', and pressing 'Recalculate all author sort values'.
If ALL of your authors are listed by first name then you want to change your default to either "Invert" or "Comma" (my favorite).

I would suggest that you look around at all of the applicable tweak options, there are some really cool things in there.

Be sure to restart Calibre after changing any tweaks.
