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?

Just setting the tweak to copy won't change anything in your metadata, you'll need to initiate that change manually. However, if it is set to copy, everything is configured correctly.

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)?

This only works if your author fields already contain LN, FN. You can find the manage authors dialog by right-clicking on the authors category in the tag browser. In the dialog, tell Calibre to recalculate the author_sort values, that should do the trick for you.
