No, assuming I understand you. The tweak changes what is displayed in the tags browser (in the categories). It has no effect on the library view spreadsheet.

That said (and not having thought about this much), you could:

1) set the tweak
2) hide the authors column
3) make a composite custom column showing {author_sort}
4) agree that you cannot edit authors on the library view

and then not mess with author except in edit-metadata. However, I strongly recommend that you don't go down this route. The possible mental and actual data inconsistencies boggle the mind.
