Doing a epub to epub conversion will insert your new covers in the books.

If you go to Preferences - Plugins - Device interface plugin - Sony and check the Use author sort for author (see attached) this might set the order correctly.
For either of the two above you might have to take a minute or two and delete the books and resend them to your reader.

Calibre will only do what you tell it to do. There is an additional way to control sorting of your collections via a tweak. Go to preferences - tweaks and read the description of the Sony sort tweak.
Spoiler:
Code:
# Specify how sony collections are sorted. This tweak is only applicable if
# metadata management is set to automatic. You can indicate which metadata is to
# be used to sort on a collection-by-collection basis. The format of the tweak
# is a list of metadata fields from which collections are made, followed by the
# name of the metadata field containing the sort value.
# Example: The following indicates that collections built from pubdate and tags
# are to be sorted by the value in the custom column '#mydate', that collections
# built from 'series' are to be sorted by 'series_index', and that all other
# collections are to be sorted by title. If a collection metadata field is not
# named, then if it is a series- based collection it is sorted by series order,
# otherwise it is sorted by title order.
# [(['pubdate', 'tags'],'#mydate'), (['series'],'series_index'), (['*'], 'title')]
# Note that the bracketing and parentheses are required. The syntax is
# [ ( [list of fields], sort field ) , ( [ list of fields ] , sort field ) ]
# Default: empty (no rules), so no collection attributes are named.
sony_collection_sorting_rules = []
Copying this tweak to the current tweaks section with your preferences will control how the collections on your sony are sorted.
Good Luck.
