Right now the author_sort_copy_method is set to "comma", but I get the same behaviour whether it is "comma" or "copy". As for the author sort, it is as per my example above. In this case both author and author sort for an existing title I have manually modified is "Harrison, M. John". But dragging new titles with that name will give them a different author sort.
Also for that particular author, the Author Sort shows up with a red background in the Author Sort textbox. Again at risk of repeating myself if I pick out different authors in my database, some will be "green", others will be "red", but in all cases the text in the author/author sort for those existing titles will be exactly the same. So it is as if Calibre has itself internally confused as to what it should be doing. There is no pattern to it I can see - "Koontz, Dean R." is 'green', "Harrison, Harry" is 'red' etc.
Doing my head in.
