Thanks for replying itimpi - Here's what I have done.
I uninstalled Calibre and all it's values. Reinstalled and created a test library. I then added 2 books, and imported the metadata. The author came back FN LN. The author sort was LN, FN. Then went to tweaks/author sort name algorithm. Changed the value author_sort_copy_method = 'comma' to 'copy' per the users manual:
Note
When changing from FN LN to LN, FN, it is often the case that the values in author_sort are already in LN, FN format. If this is your case, then do the following:
set the author_sort_copy_method tweak to copy as described above.
restart calibre. Do not change any book metadata before doing the remaining steps.
open the Manage authors dialog. Press the --copy all author sort values to author-- button.
Check through the authors to be sure you are happy. You can still press Cancel to abandon the changes. Once you press OK, there is no undo.
Press OK, at which point calibre will change the authors in all your books. This can take a while.
Calibre did make the changes as I wanted. However it did not make the change when I added another new book.
