Everything you describe is consistent with the individual author_sort values not being set the way you want.

Did you check the author_sort field for the *author*? Right-click on any author in the left-hand tags pane, choose manage authors, and look at the author_sort column for that author?

The red indicates that the *book's* author_sort value differs from the set of author_sorts derived from the individual authors.

When you change the tweak, you must also tell calibre to recompute the author_sort values for *each author*. This also is done in the same manage authors dialog.
