Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

I've tried the sort algorithim and manage authors but I clearly haven't found the right combination

What I would find useful for the future is a facility to have imported books match the predominant sort arrangements existing in the current library or better still the equivalent of the Microsoft Office "format painter" button to copy sort values.

Calibre normally expects Fn Ln
There is a Preference under 'Adding books' (right side) to swap.

You can also use the Search and Replace function of Bulk metadata edit to repair existing entries
