Using edit metadata, check the author sort values for each book to see if they are the same. My guess is that they are not, and that if you sort by author in the library, the books will not be together.

No, the author sort values are exactly the same, hence my puzzlement; and when the Calibre library is sorted by author the two books I'm having problems with appear exactly where they should - in alphabetical sequence by surname. But on the Kindle these two, and only these two, sort themselves on first name - so the sequence goes like this:
Elizabeth
Gaskell / Thomas
Hardy / Jane
Harris / Susan
Hill /
Knut Hamsun / Hilary
Mantel
instead of having Hamsun after Gaskell. Deeply puzzled ...
