If the book is only on the Kindle then it will read the author name from the book if its mobi. If its not mobi and not in Calibre, then no author name will show up. When displaying the author name in the Edit window it will show the Author as firstname lastname even if its sorting by lastname, firstname - which should mimic Calibre and the Kindle. The confusion will come for books not in calibre that have author names that aren't set to lastname, firstname - they will sort by firstname until you add them to calibre or update their author name (or check if you've set the Author Sort field correctly in calibre). The tooltip on the author will show how its being sorted.
Suggestions and feedback welcome as usual.

Okay, I'm more than my normal stupid today, as I've been experiencing my first ever seasonal allergy symptoms and/or a MAJOR bad head cold... but does this basically say that (assuming I've run all my books through Calibre) author sort on my Kindle will sort by last name while the author column on the Kindle will show first then last (as usual)? If so, this is AWESOME and something I actually submitted a bug report to Amazon about.
