Thank you for that.

Nothing I have tried changes the sort order on the Glo to First Name alphabetical.

I enter this into the metadata plugboard

{author_sort:'re($, ' ', '*')'}

I then restart Calibre.
Plug my Glo into PC, connect.
Calibre refreshes, all Glo books appear.
I restart Calibre, (just to ensure that it takes).
Eject device.
Power off Glo, Restart Glo, > Books > select title then back to Author. The Sort order is FN LN but alphabetically by Last Name.

Thanks for your assistance.
