The authors section of the tag browser is sorted using "author_sort". That cannot be changed without changing calibre's source code.

It seems that you want authors sorted by "FN LN". In that case, you should set the author_sort values to FN LN instead of "LN, FN". Of course, this will also change how authors are sorted on the library grid.
