TBH I don't understand your comment. What I said was that *after* adding a book to calibre you must check and possibly fix the metadata such as author(s), in addition to all the other metadata. This shouldn't be surprising, given that author names are often spelled incorrectly, are sometimes in the wrong order ("real" author after "marketing" author), are sometimes missing, and (yes) sometimes FN LN instead of LN, FN. My experience has been that I cannot trust any metadata that comes with a book/publication. All the metadata must be verified and possibly corrected
As for exporting: what I said is that if your authors are LN, FN then the folders in your library will be LN, FN. BetterRed mentioned some of the problems with my assertion. However, if you want to *export* the library in some other structure then you can do that with calibre's save-to-disk function, but that isn't what I have been talking about.
