I, too, would prefer the Kindle to display Lastname, Firstname. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to do that. Like you, I tried copying the author_sort values to the author column.
For what it's worth, it did fix the problem of the Kindle randomly sorting by first name. You said you wanted the Kindle to sort by surname consistently; I've found that it should be doing that already under the "author_sort-as-author" set-up that you have now.
I think that the display issue is not on Calibre's end but on the Kindle's end: the Kindle will always convert to "David Wong", whether the input is "David Wong" or "Wong, David". It seems that Amazon -- like Apple products -- is convinced of the rightness of its own aesthetics, and doesn't give much at all in the way of user discretion.
