I've gone into author management and reset it all, but it still insists on doing it.

Any chance you are sorting by popularity or rating instead of name?
Check the dialog box at the bottom of the tags pane.
If you are sorting by name, then the first thing to do is determine where the problem is. As dwanthny suggested, right-click on an author and choose manage authors. At this point, don't fix anything. Press the 'Sort by author sort' and see if the authors are listed in the same order (or reverse order) as you see in the tags pane. If they are, then the problem is in the individual author sort values, and you should fix them. The problems should be evident.
Note that if you have international characters in your author names, the latest release will sort names differently in the dialog than in the tags pane. I forgot to fix the dialog.
If the dialog and the list are sorting differently and international characters are not at fault, then I need some examples. Post a few of the author+author_sort values that appear in sequence but should not.
