That option has nothing to do with your device. It has to do with what happens when a file (pdf, epub, mobi, txt, etc.) that is not in the library is added to the library. With default settings Calibre looks only at the title of the book (same title it asks if you want a duplicate record, different title, it adds it as a new record.) With the option turned on, Calibre looks at the author (and the format) in addition to the title. If the author and title of the new file closely match an existing book record, Calibre will put the new file into the existing record, if it can.
In your case, you indicated that you ended up with duplicates when you added files to Calibre. Turning on the autosorting option would have prevented that.
