It is kind of an illusion to say you've seen it done LN, FN all your life. Certainly the books in the library and book store have always been sorted on the shelf by LN, FN as calibre also, is by default, sorted by LN, FN. But the books themselves, at least fiction, have always listed the author on the cover FN, LN.
That said everyone is entitled to setup their library the way they are comfortable. Check
this section of the manual for more information. After you adjust the tweaks outlined in this section you can install the Quality Check plugin, Preferences - Plugins - Get new plugins. After the plugin is installed select the books you want to swap FN, LN > LN, FN then select the menu item as shown in the attached image. Further info is in the QC plugin help section.
I personally don't alter my library in this manner so more detailed instructions will have to come from someone else.
Good Reading.
