Why I do ask explicit? That would namely be a disaster - or at least connected for re-conversion with some workload.

I would use the "Set author sort from author" option, which will take "Dan Brown" from Author and put "Brown, Dan" into Author Sort.

Possibly a language effect.

This is with me the same.
But I may correct you: Double click opens the book in view mode.
You mean: Mark with single click a line in calibre main view - second single click makes the wanted entry space (eg Title, Author, Tags) editable.

True. Although you can set different settings in Preferences. I did, and forgot it wasn't default.

brown, dan (starting thread)
When I changed in EMD Author sort to Brown, Dan it showed red because it doesn't match with the Manage Authors entry, which was then brown, dan.
Click OK in EMD with a red Author sort entry doesn't change the Manage Authors entry. (tested) Puuh!

Correct. It disagreed with Manage Authors.
And clicking OK in Edit Metadata simply saves the data in red to the book itself, but it will still be in red until you correct the entry in Manage Authors.
