2. In the metadata settings page for the book, click on the arrow next to the Author tab to correctly set the Author Sorting tab next to it. In the case of single authors, it will be automatically set to 'Surname, Name': for multiple authors, you'll need to substitute the ampersand with a comma in the Author tab before clicking on the arrow, after which it will be correctly set to 'N1S1, N2S2'. There might be exceptions to this of course (eg. authors with double surnames) which you will have to sort manually, but they should be very few.
It's a very quick procedure if you remember to do it every time you add a new book to your library. For those books which have already been sent to the device, after you edit the metadata it will need to be updated (it's done automatically every time you connect it to Calibre).

According to what I already did in Calibre there aren't any inconsistencies, since in books metadata setting page author and author's sort are the same, for all the 1765 (!) books I have. This is one of the things I always check before sending a book to the Aura.
Probably I'll have to change the format to "name surname" (or name surname & name surname" in case of multiple authors) without any commas
