In the screenshot, you can see that the first_author is J. A. Konrath so first_author_sort would be Konrath, J. A. but it is Konrath, J. A with the period dropped.

Ahhh, now I understand.
I needed to "fix" the "trailing period in a folder" problem. Clearly CC cannot allow such periods. I had two choices for a fix. The first would be to change the period to something, i.e., an underscore. The second would be to do what calibre itself does, which is to remove all trailing periods. I decided that doing the same thing as calibre makes the most sense, so CC alpha 4 removes the trailing periods.
This decision also seems to correspond with what ES File Explorer did when it copied your book folders to the SD card. It removed the trailing period(s).
