Are you selecting a record, pressing "E" to edit the metadata (or right clicking and choosing "Edit metadata" to see the author_sort contents?
The contents of author_sort is: "de, Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel" so it sorts under "d"
But, you don't. You have "Douglas, Adams," in author_sort.
It would, but you have "Eddings, David" in author_sort, so it's sorting on "E"
You don't have the same thing in author_sort for both. You have one record where "Conan" is first in author_sort and another where "Doyle" is first. Taht's wwhy tehy aren't together.
I could go on, but it's all sorting correctly - you just have a mess in your author_sort.

It is interesting that what you see in the "metadata.db" file is corresponding with how things sort, however what I see in the calibre GUI does not in any way correspond to what you are seeing in the metadata.db file.
