That depends on what you want to have happen. Choose the option that gives the behavior you want.

I am confused, because I cannot replicate the behavior you describe.
My experiment: With a library using Firstname Surname authors, the author sort generation tweak set to 'invert', Manual management, and 'Use Author Sort' checked:
1. Send a book to my PRS-300. Look at Calibre's device display. Most of the books show as Surname, Firstname, because that is how I normally work. The new book just added shows as Firstname Surname, as it should.
2. Disconnect my 300. The new book is listed under Surname, Firstname.
3. Reconnect. Send another new book. Both books are listed in calibre's device view as Firstname Surname.
4. Disconnect. Both new books are listed under Surname, Firstname.
My understanding from your post is that in step 2, you saw Firstname Surname on your Sony. In step 4, you saw Surname, Firstname for the first book, but Firstname Surname for the second book
What do you do differently from the steps in my experiment?
