When you add a book, the author's name is listed however the publisher put it, so there is no way to control that.
However, if you download metadata (which I almost always do, as that gives me series info) you can specify LN,FN. Go to Preferences, Sharing, Metadata download - in the bottom right make sure there is a check in the box for "Swap author names from FN LN to LN, FN."

So, I'm back to asking, is there any way to get calibre to automatically put LN, FN in the author field when adding a book without having to change it in the metadata editor after adding the book (if so, then the tweek should work)?
