If you manually change the author sort in the Edit Metadata, all it changes is the record for one specific book. What Quality Check does is compare that book to a central table that matches author and author sort. Even if you list a book with "Hugh Aldersey-Williams" as the author and "Aldersey-Williams, Hugh" as the author sort, Quality Check will flag it if the Manage Authors table lists the author sort as "Hugh Aldersey-williams". In other words, it's not the record for the individual book that's the problem; it's the table that matches authors to author sorts.

While you've got one of those books in the Edit Metadata dialog, click the "Manage Authors" icon to the left of the author. Then check to see that the listing there is what you want. Then rerun Quality Check.
