I have had this problem. In my case it turned out that in copying the author field into the author-sort field, I somehow inserted a leading blank space in the author sort field. This can be easy to do, and is impossible to see on the screen.

Calibre then correctly sorted this book to the top of the authors list, because in computer sorts, blank spaces come before the letter A.

Check the book metadata to see if you have accidently entered [space]Jance, J. A.
