Calibre sorts by the author's second name (surname? the last word in the name string), but in the list it shows the first name first!

Is it possible to change the output order in the list?
Calibre is sorting by the author_sort field which is the default.

Under Preferences->Advanced->tweaks you can tweak the rule for deriving author_sort from author. The default rule assumes that author is stored as firstname lastname, and author-sort is derived as lastname, firstname.
