You should turn on the option to Swap author name then. That will reverse it when it gets imported. It's in the Import/Export|Add area of Preferences.
I know you posted that you have your problem solved, but you also posted that you don't want a second column. It's up to you which to use, but most people who want LN, FN do not use multiple columns. You are basically doing it backwards by putting the name you don't want into author. It's not hard to do it correctly - automatically put LN, FN in both author and author_sort.
