I can't reproduce this. You need to let me know all steps:

1. All changes you made to the default settings in Calibre in order to replace author with author_sort.
2. Is the sort method on reader 'by Author'?
3. On the reader, if you view the books as 'List', do you see the author as (last name, first name)?
