@pinecone: My author sort tweak is set to 'comma', and calibre also works with your examples.

Author = "Joe Blogs", use "set author sort from author", author sort = Blogs, Joe.
Author sort = "Blogs, Joe", use "set author from author sort", author= "Joe Blogs".

I do get (at least some of) your behavior if I set the tweak to "invert". If I do that, then set the author to "Blogs, Joe", then use "set author sort from author", then author sort is "Joe Blogs," (with trailing comma). This is correct behavior. Setting the tweak to "invert" tells calibre to flop the names around unconditionally, without paying any attention to commas or any other character.
