We are saying that the template used to store the books in the calibre library cannot be changed. It will always use author and title. It doesn't care *what* you put in author and title. If you put 'Joe Blogs' in the author field, then calibre will use 'Joe Blogs'. If you put 'Blogs, Joe' in, it will use 'Blogs', Joe'.

If you change the authors to LN, FN (Blogs, Joe), then you must also tell calibre not to flip them back around when it computes the author_sort. Otherwise your sort values will be 'Joe, Blogs,'. That is what the tweak is for.
