I'm trying (for a while) to get the LF, FN in both fields (Author(s) and Author sort). Until now I've used the copy invert method (the standard) and after adding a book I copied manually the correct author_sort (LF, FN) to the field Author(s).
The discussion above inspired me to try it again: I've changed the method to 'copy', but it doesn't seem te have any effect (I restarted Calibre). An example:
My author(s) name is Child, Lee. When I press the button right below the author(s) the field Author sort shows Lee, Child, (including the comma at the end) and turns green? If I change the tweak to 'invert' exactly the same happens.
What am I doing wrong?

By the way: "There is a button in the manage_authors dialog box" ... Ik can't find this box (I right clicked every possible item)? Is it part of the 'edit metadata bulk' (I see a checkbox there for the author sort field)?
