Option 3 has been tested and works properly. I had not realized that the Calibre metadata was being copied to mobi files when the file is sent to the device. I did not have this happen when I had some files in PRC format and had to manually convert them. I had since started converting 'mobi to mobi' to check the metadata in the mobi files on the PC.
For this test I just changed the author sort and re-sent the file. I then pulled the mobi file back from the device and saw that it had changed the author field to what I had set in calibre.
Now I just need to manually set the author sort on all books and re-send. Or just not worry about it. I had already gone through all my books and removed the multiple authors to that auto conversion from author to author_sort would do what I wanted.
FYI for a generated author_sort of "ln1, fn1 & ln2, fn2" change it to "ln1, fn1;ln2, fn2".
