When editing the Metadata if I have the author's name as FN LN and click on the button to copy the author name to the Author sort field I want it copied as FN LN. I changed and applied the tweak for the Author sort name algorithm (ID: author_sort_copy_method) from comma to copy but this did not give me the results I was expecting. Sometimes it will copy as expected (e.g. FN LN) and other times I get LN, FN.

Also with the title, if the title is "The William S Club" and I click on the button to copy the title to the title sort field I want it to appear in the title sort field as "The William S Club", e.g. I do not want it changed.
Title_series tweak:'strictly_alphabetic'

There is a second tweak for Author
Author sort Name: 'Copy'
