See these two threads for some help.

Thanks so much - I had forgotten all about the author sort field. When I load a book into Calibre I don't go to metadata, I have just been changing the author from FN LN to LN, FN. Since all my authors are in LN, FN the tweek won't help me - sigh. So, I'll spend my Sunday going into the metadata field for all my books

Thanks for the answer.
