It is basically the same thing, except output preferences is "more proper".

The only really wrong way to do it would be to modify the actual "author" field in calibre to contain the "author sort" information.

...

Really, Amazon should just add an actual "author" field to the MOBI/AZW3 metadata spec and use that instead of deriving it from the "author sort" field. And stop calling the "author sort" field the "author" field.
