author_sort_copy_method = 'copy'
Most people who like Lastname, Firstname use author_sort_copy_method = 'comma'

Using "comma", if metadata has the author as "Smith, John" then it sorts under Smith. If it has author "John Smith", it still sorts under Smith. Using "copy" it sorts under John in the latter case.
