It may be that you've set it and sent a file to your device with no suitable format for your device, in which case Calibre should start to convert the file, thus applying the setting you've mentioned. That would certainly create the impression that the setting applied to sending books to devices.

try it, then tell us what happens. nope never used a plugboard.
i copied my library to a new laptop. when i then installed 0.8.1. i specified that library location. i sent the library to a new kindle. the author sorting was fn, ln. i removed the transferred books from the kindle and set the preferences in calibre (just one setting, the one described in this thread).

open 'preferences' and under 'import/export' choose 'output options' then choose 'mobi output' and check the box marked 'use author sort for author'. save the preferences and then send the books to the kindle again.

the kindle now displayed ln, fn sorting.
