Calibre currently has full implementation of library order. Library order by definition originated in Libraries and as such the sort was changed but the titles of the books were never changed.

You may well be correct, but just because the technology makes it easy to do as you suggest doesn't make it the best way. However, if you want this you can create a custom Title column based on {title_sort} and hide the original column.

I have to say that I too prefer the traditional implementation of library sort.
