So after moving it, you have to Manage Authors in the new library.

I address that this way.
After I move books from my Receiving library to the Target library, I do a search on tags:"=_New", and apply my _New View; it displays authors and a derived custom custom called #my_authors_sort - so it pretty easy to pick up any author_sort anomalies - I get quite a few because of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese etc names.
