But if I change it to "St John, Lauren" in Manage Authors, then in Metadata Edit that's what I see on a green background and that value 'sticks' in Manage Authors. And Lauren St John will be sorted as an 'S' and not as a 'J'

We are talking at cross purposes. You're talking about editing the author's name; I'm talking about editing its sort order.
Eg, if you have the famous Dutch author "Dick van Writer", you would, to conform to Dutch sorting rules, want to list him as "van Writer, Dick", but have his name sorted under "Writer", not "van". You can achieve this by setting the author's name as "van Writer, Dick" and the author sort as "Writer, Dick van", on the metadata screen.
