Yes, one option in the tweak is to copy the name unchanged to author_sort.

eg Author: McCaffrey, Anne
Author-sort: McCaffrey, Anne
Appearance in sorted list looks like: McCaffrey, Anne

The "Appearance in sorted list" is always just what's in the author field.

Not sure whether this is even relevant given that my metadata.db file does not reflect my changes to my metadata, but assuming we can fix that and it does ultimately reflect my changes, would my entering the exactly same data into both of those two fields cause a conflict?

You are free to enter whatever you want in the two fields. They never conflict. One shows up in the screen, the other just controls sort order.
