Yes. I have the tweak set to copy. All of my authors are entered as LN, FN, and all of my author sort values are LN, FN. If yours are not, then the tweak is not changed correctly or your are seeing pre-tweak values.

I can't remember stating that I didn't want a second column. I just wanted to be able to display the author sort name instead of the authors name, and with the added column thats what I get. 've tried earlier to make a column like this but I didn't know the correct field name ...
You are giving up the ability to edit authors' names on the library view. You are also asking for confusion when editing metadata and when doing device/library book matching. It could be that none of these matter to you, though.
