What you need to do is decide how you want every Author to show (usually FN LN), when doing this make sure that Author_Sort is correctly redone to LN, FN

Then you use whichever field you need to produce the correct output

Quality Check Plugin
- Check Metadata -> authors with commas
- Fix -> FN LN <--> LN, FN

That should get every author correct

Then select any book, CTRL-A to select all books
Edit Metadata on Toolbar
Tick Automatically set Author Sort at top

Then everything should be correct and you're good to go

Thanks for some good suggestions. The comma checker is one I had missed.

As for "why" I do ANYTHING I do - I am beyond anal about anything on my computers. When I've exhausted my own minute brain resources I reluctantly ask for help. So thanks for all yours.
