It is very mysterious to me. Remember, this problem only exists for any book I upload to the memory card. The same book sorts fine on authors last name if I put it on the main memory. But any book I put on the memory card suddenly only sorts on first name.

How could this be?

The other comments I will look into later.
Thank you all very much for your help.
Do you use different save methods, e.g. 'Save to Disk' for SD card and 'Send to Device' for internal memory? If so, check to see if you have a different 'Save template' for each in Preferences.

You will also get metadata problems if you are using drag-and-drop to put books on your reader, either SD card or int mem.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure the Sonys care what the files are called so it's probably not the Save Templates. If you get a Metadata Plugboard set up and enable the preference which tells Calibre to manage your metadata automatically, it should sort out all your naming problems the next time you connect the reader.
