I really feel stupid now, but this doesn't work as you explain. In the meta information from books the author field shows "first name last name", and the author sort field "last name, first name", just as you mentions.
But when I browse by author field it shows "first name last name", and the same happens with the author tags.
For example with Poe again :
I have a book named "The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe [Volume 1]"
In the meta data Author(s) is 'Edgar Allan Poe', Author Sort 'Poe, Edgar Allan'.
When I browse the Author(s) field or search the authors tags, it shows 'Edgar Allan Poe' .
So what am I doing wrong ?
