Please see the thread "Importing and maintaining title, author" where chaley explains this exact situation to me.
I learn something new everyday. I've never had the need to ensure the file structure inside of calibre's database was a "certain way."

Calibre's library view sorts as expected by last name and the author is as it would be on any book first name then last name. Thus mimicking every library shelf I've ever viewed.

After reading the thread you pointed to it is painfully obvious that if you enter all your books in the author field as last name, first name then the corresponding folder structure would also reflect this.

I'll never do this, but it is definitely karma worthy.
