You can't sort the author column by anything other than the contents of author_sort. You could create a custom column containing the author (FN LN) and sort by that custom column, but then you'd have two author columns. You could hide one.

If not, how can I change in bulk all the 'Author sort' fields to match the 'Author(s)' field?

Highlight all, bulk metadata edit all, use Search and Replace to find (.*) in author and set the destination to author_sort and replace with \1. You'll want to set the Tweak to Copy so it copies author to author_sort without change for new ebooks.
