There's two different mechanisms working against you here.
First, FFDL sorts most of the metadata lists itself. But you can disable that for specific metadata lists:
Code:
[archiveofourown.org]
keep_in_order_ships:true
Second, calibre sorts all comma separated, tag-like columns whether you want it to or not. So you can only preserve the order if you use a basic text column (the top one on the list). You'll still be able to view and search on that column, but it will be a single string and not show up as separate tags in tag browser, for example.
